How This Happens

Wrongful death occurs when someone else’s negligence, willful act, or wrongful act causes the death of another person. We often find that a single person can be responsible, as can a company or agency. Let’s look at some of the more common ways in which wrongful death cases arise:

• Impaired Drivers – In Washington, drunk drivers continue to cause major problems and are responsible for a high amount of traffic-related fatalities. According to the CDC, 29 people die in the US every day from a crash involving an alcohol-impaired driver.
• Workplace Accidents – It is up to an employer to ensure that their workers have a safe work environment. This means they need to provide the proper equipment needed for each job they as employers to perform. They should also fully train every worker for the jobs being done.
• Faulty Products – We often hear about cars catching fire and foods being recalled, but there are hundreds of products recalled each year due to poor designs, manufacturing problems, and labeling issues.
• Premises Incidents – When you go onto someone else’s property, you should be safe. Unfortunately, there are times when property owners fail to inspect and maintain their premises. This can cause major injuries and fatalities to patrons.
• Pedestrian Injuries – Reckless and careless drivers can cause major harm to pedestrians. In Pennsylvania’s latest reporting year, there were 150 pedestrians killed in vehicle crashes.
