- Defective products that pose significant risks
- Criminal actions, including assault or homicide
- Nursing home abuse and neglect
- Dangerous property conditions leading to slips and falls
- Construction site accidents
- Aviation or boating accidents
- Exposure to hazardous substances
Who Can Be Held Responsible?
When it comes to liability, various parties may be held responsible for your loved one’s death. These include:

- Healthcare providers, including doctors, nurses, and hospitals
- Employers who didn't provide safe working environments
- Manufacturers of defective products
- Property owners with hazardous conditions

What Damages Can I Recover?
You may be able to recover damages for medical expenses, funeral and burial costs, loss of income and benefits, loss of companionship, pain and suffering, and potentially punitive damages in cases of gross negligence or intentional harm. But keep in mind that the specific damages you may be entitled to will depend on the unique details of your case, which is why we always recommend contacting us for a free case review first.
