Las Vegas Wrongful Death Attorney
It is tragic that the negligent acts of another can result in the untimely death of someone you love. Wrongful death suits occur when a victim is killed by the negligent, reckless or intentional acts of a third party. The descendant’s surviving, spouse, children, immediate family or sometimes beneficiaries may be entitled to take action and pursue a wrongful death suit.
Examples of negligence leading to wrongful death claims include death resulting from medical malpractice, car accidents, bike accidents, defective products and machinery. Wrongful death claims can be brought upon individuals and companies. In order to establish a wrongful death claim, one must prove negligence or recklessness resulting in death. In these cases, the burden of proof is determined by the “preponderance of evidence.” Negligence can result from a wide variety of sources.
Examples of negligent acts giving rise to wrongful death claims include death resulting from auto accidents, motorcycle accidents, tractor-trailer accidents, bicycle accidents, defective products, and medical malpractice.
