What Is Wrongful Death Litigation?

"Wrongful death" is the legal term for any fatality that was caused by the negligence of another person or institution. In wrongful death litigation, the surviving family sues the guilty party for all consequences of the deadly accident, including:

• Pain and suffering
• Medical bills
• Lost wages
• Loss of consortium

Part of the aim of wrongful death cases is to make guilty parties change their ways. A large settlement or jury verdict often convinces organizations to enact safety regulations to ensure that no similar tragedy ever happens again.

Wrongful death litigation can involve any type of deadly accident, such as:

• Auto accidents
• Truck accidents
• Motorcycle accidents
• Medical malpractice
• Birth injury
• Nursing home abuse
• Construction accidents
• Defective products

Because wrongful death cases often involve such large amounts of money, and often bad publicity, guilty parties will usually fight hard against claims. It is especially important to hire an experienced lawyer who can take a challenging case and negotiate a large settlement or, if need be, take the case to court.

The South Carolina wrongful death attorneys of The Hawkins Law Firm thrive on challenging cases. We have more than 10 years of experience with all kinds of personal injury litigation, and are ready to help any family take on a person or organization guilty of causing a wrongful death.
