Losing someone you care about is always painful. However, when your family member’s death was the result of someone else’s negligence, you have the right to hold the negligent party responsible for their wrongdoing.

    Automobile Accidents

    There were 1,369 deaths due to crashes in North Carolina in 2019, according to the North Carolina Division of Motor Vehicles. A wide variety of circumstances can lead to motor vehicle accidents, including distracted driving from cell phone use and other factors, drugs and alcohol, and speeding. Driver fatigue is another major cause of accidents. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) notes that drowsy drivers are less able to focus on the road, have a slower reaction time, and are more prone to making bad decisions.

    Premises Liability

    Premises liability is where a property owner or manager is responsible for maintaining a property that is safe for anyone who legally enters the property. They are expected to take any precautions that a reasonable person would take to ensure everyone’s safety.

    However, sometimes the property owner is negligent and does not keep the property safe. Slip, trip, and fall accidents are commonly the basis of premises liability cases, all accidents that are a common cause of traumatic brain injuries and even death.

    Workplace Accidents and Illnesses

    According to the National Safety Council, the three most common types of workplace injury events are overexertion, contact with equipment and objects, or slips, trips, and falls. Contact with equipment includes events like being caught in between objects or crushed by a collapsing structure, and, as discussed above, slip and fall accidents often lead to traumatic brain injuries, a leading cause of death in the U.S.

    Pedestrian Accidents

    According to the North Carolina Division of Motor Vehicles, over 231 pedestrian fatalities occurred in North Carolina in 2019 alone. These accidents are often the result of a negligent driver who is committing some type of traffic infraction.

    Product Liability

    Product liability is when a manufacturer or any other party in the distribution and logistics chain is responsible for injuries that a product causes. These products could be anything from toys to fireworks to prescription medication. The product could have a defect in its design or one that occurred in manufacturing. In some cases, it may be that the manufacturer failed to warn consumers about potential dangers or failed to provide instructions for how to use it properly.

    These are just a few possible examples of accidents that could lead to wrongful death cases. If you lost someone you love because of someone else’s negligence, you have the right to hold the party or parties responsible for your losses.
