If someone says “wrongful death,” do you know what they mean? A personal injury attorney with Peck & Peck Attorneys At Law in Hartford, CT, can explain what constitutes wrongful death and ways in which it occurs. The father and son firm represents clients who have wrongful death and personal injury claims throughout the area.

When a person or entity commits a negligent or intentional act, or fails to perform an act and someone dies as a result, the law describes the death as a wrongful death. A company can commit a wrongful death, such as a manufacturer of a toy with a design defect that causes a child’s death. A government agency can cause wrongful deaths, such as when prison inmates die in state custody because the state agency denied them proper medical treatment.

Wrongful death claims can arise from car injury cases, such as someone texting while driving, causing a fatal collision. Manufacturers of defective automobiles can cause wrongful deaths in car injury cases. Claims can stem from medical malpractice, such as when a doctor fails to diagnose a patient’s illness and the illness causes the patient’s death.

A personal injury attorney who takes a wrongful death case must devote substantial time and effort to it to achieve an injury settlement or a jury verdict that will compensate those who suffer loss. The injury attorney may use experts for accident reconstruction, medical analysis, or product design and engineering. Peck & Peck Attorneys At Law have a strong record of successful settlement and trial outcomes for their clients in wrongful death cases.
