Morgan Hill, CA Wrongful Death Lawyer

Wrongful death can have many causes, with the most common being car accidents. Reckless driving, distracted driving, and driving while under the influence are common causes of wrongful death. However, the list of what can cause wrongful death is endless. Ultimately, any event that leads to a person passing away caused by another party’s negligence or recklessness may qualify for wrongful death.

There are several reasons why a family might seek justice and compensation following a wrongful death. The most common reason is simply due to expenses. Funerals themselves can cost thousands in and around Morgan Hill. Likewise, many victims don’t pass away immediately. Instead, they often pass away while in the hospital after an emergency ambulance transport and other medical expenses. Besides being stuck with what seems to be an insurmountable bill to overcome, families may find it difficult to pay rent after losing a provider.

Of course, temporary expenses—no matter how large—can’t compare to the pain and suffering caused by losing a loved one prematurely. Depending on the case, punitive damages may also be appropriate. Punitive damages exceed normal compensation and are used to punish the defendant, with the idea being that such damages will prevent them and similar parties from committing future offenses. Our empathetic and understanding Morgan Hill wrongful death lawyers can go over your case to determine what your options are and what sort of settlement you can expect.
