Wrongful death claims occur when someone can be held liable for another person\u2019s death, typically due to negligence. It\u2019s not a criminal case, it is a civil action usually brought by close relative or loved ones. By law, survivors of the deceased can bring civil lawsuit against the\u00a0perpetrators\u00a0of the wrongful death on behalf of the victim and often receive financial compensation if they settle or win their claim.<\/p>\n
Causes of Wrongful Death<\/strong><\/p>\n Wrongful death claims are most often caused by vehicle accidents, faulty products or services, and workplace accidents. Even though these may be the most common types of accidents, they are not an exhaustive list. If a fatal accident has happened to a loved one, you can likely pursue compensation for your loss.<\/p>\n Winning a Wrongful Death Claim<\/strong><\/p>\n A wrongful death attorney must prove that the death could have been avoided by the defendant, and that surviving relatives suffered a financial loss because of the death. If you live in Oklahoma, and believe that a loved one died due to the negligence of another person or corporation, you and your family may be entitled to compensation.<\/p>\n It\u2019s important to contact an attorney right away because wrongful death claims have an expiration date. Joe Norwood will help fight for your family\u2019s future and achieve justice against negligence in Oklahoma.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Wrongful death claims occur when someone can be held liable for another person\u2019s death, typically due to negligence.
