A wrongful death suit is appropriate when your loved one died due to the actions or inactions of another person, as might be the case for:
Medical Malpractice: A medical malpractice case can be brought when your loved one’s death was caused by anyone in the healthcare field. For example, you may have a case if their death was due to a physician or surgeon’s error, a pharmacist’s mistake, a hospital or healthcare facility’s ineptitude, or improper physician privileging.

Automotive Negligence: If your loved one died in a vehicle accident, the responsible driver can be sued. If an automotive defect caused the accident, the automaker may have a share of the blame. If a road in disrepair contributed to the death, the government entity responsible for road maintenance can be a party to the wrongful death claim.
Workplace Negligence: On the job injuries can lead to death. If that occurs, then the employer and sometimes equipment manufacturers can be sued for wrongful death.
Product Defect: If a product caused your loved one’s death and that product was designed or manufactured in a dangerous or negligent way, then the designer or manufacturer can be held liable.
