Workplace Wrongful Death

The tragedy and pain of losing a loved one is indescribable. The families have to cope with their emotional pain and at the same time are burdened with financial constraints and issues. As a result of workplace wrongful death, the families suffer huge financial losses, both in the present situation and in future. These losses include costs of medical care of the deceased victim, cost of burial and most importantly the loss of future earnings. Other than the financial losses, the family members endure immense mental pain and suffering.

Workplace Wrongful deaths are deaths which occur because of injuries caused to an employee while at work. The accident or injuries are a result of the company or some other employee’s negligence. In most cases the victims would have suffered fatal injury while driving a vehicle for the company or while working on heavy equipment. One needs to understand that all deaths are not considered wrongful deaths, only if it can be proven that the cause of death was negligence on part of somebody else, it would be considered a wrongful death.

When an organization or employer or manager fails to take reasonable care at the workplace to avoid any injury or accident, is called negligence. When a fatal accident occurs because of someone’s negligence, it is considered a wrongful death.

Under the California law surviving family members can sue the negligent person or company or the entity which has been responsible for the death of their loved one.
