It’s an unfortunate fact of life that sometimes horrible things happen to good people. Many times, such tragedies involve the loss of life of a family member or loved one. When tragedy strikes you or someone you love, and the loss of life is the result of the negligence of another party, it is normal to have questions: Who will pay our medical bills and funeral expenses? And when the loss of life involves the bread winner of the family, will we lose our family home or our car? How will we meet our financial obligations going forward?

If you lost a loved one due to someone else’s carelessness, you need legal help, fast.

What Circumstances Might Lead to a Wrongful Death Suit?

“Wrongful death” is defined in Oklahoma Statutes as a death caused by someone else’s wrongful act, which could stem from recklessness or negligence, or could be the result of intentional action. There are a variety of scenarios that may lead to a wrongful death. Some of the most common include the following:

  • Car, truck or motorcycle accidents: When an auto accident results in death, there may be grounds for a wrongful death claim.
  • Pedestrian accidents: A wrongful death claim can arise when a pedestrian is struck and killed by a motor vehicle.
  • Medical malpractice: We rely on medical professionals to keep us safe. Sometimes, providers fail to diagnose or treat or misdiagnose or mistreat someone — resulting in death.
  • Product liability: A product liability wrongful death suit can arise when a product malfunctions or otherwise does not work as intended.
  • Workplace accidents: We expect employers to maintain safe working conditions. Unfortunately, sometimes wrongful death claims arise out of incidents in the workplace.
  • Nursing home abuse or neglect: If a loved one died as the result of mistreatment or neglect in a care facility, you may be entitled to compensation under a wrongful death claim.
  • “Slip and fall” or other premises liability accidents: Businesses and property owners may be liable for wrongful death when accidents occur on site.
