The Most Common Causes of Wrongful Death

June 18, 2020 by David R. Heil, PA

A wrongful death happens when a person loses their life due to the carelessness of another. While taking immediate legal action may not be a priority, it is important for family members and loved ones to retain a wrongful death attorney as soon as possible. In addition to the emotional trauma of having a family member pass away, people may also face financial difficulties without the help of the deceased. The compensation provided by a lawsuit might ease this financial burden. If you believe this is the case, reach out to David R. Heil, PA in Winter Park, Florida. We can discuss your situation with compassion and provide you with the right next steps. 

Medical malpractice 

Medical practitioners have a legal and ethical duty to care for the health and wellbeing of their patients. Medical malpractice occurs when a hospital or doctor does not provide the accepted standard of care, thus resulting in injury or death of a patient. When it comes to medical malpractice, however, there is a time limit for taking legal action. Under Florida law, a person must file a lawsuit within a certain time period or the case may not be accepted. 

The most frequent cases of medical malpractice lawsuits in Orlando include: 

  • Failure to properly diagnose or treat a patient
  • Errors in administering medications
  • Failing to follow proper safety procedures

Car or bike accidents

Motor vehicle accidents or bicycle accidents are major causes of wrongful death in Florida. This is because many collisions are caused by reckless or distracted drivers. Individuals are expected to take a reasonable amount of care and caution to avoid accidents on the road. Instead, their judgment may be impaired by alcohol use or cell phone use. Breaking traffic rules or running a red light are other sources of negligent behavior. When you contact David R. Heil, PA, we can review the case and determine whether any traffic laws were violated during the accident. 

Workplace injuries 

Construction, transportation, manufacturing, and similar industries experience a higher risk of injury and death compared to other jobs. Some examples of workplace accidents include falling debris or exposure to harmful chemicals. In reality, employers are required to keep the workplace safe and free of any hazards that could result in the death of an individual. Organizations should do everything in their power to train employees about these dangers and provide the right safety equipment to prevent them from occurring in the first place. 

Get professional legal help 

We understand that wrongful deaths can be a traumatizing event. If your family member was involved in a serious injury or wrongful death due to the above causes, you may be able to file a lawsuit. Professional help is required to assess your damages and review your case. It is important to find an experienced attorney who knows how to navigate the complicated process. To learn more, contact a David R. Heil today. We are sure to handle your wrongful death suit with care.
