Blue Springs Wrongful Death Attorney

Wrongful Death Lawyer Blue Springs

Families are always grief-stricken when the loss of a loved one occurs, but the tragedy of a beloved family member or friend dying before their time hurts those left behind that much more, especially if that death was preventable and the negligence of another party contributed to that untimely loss of life. Sadly, negligence resulting in premature death happens too often, sometimes even with those who are entrusted with the care and health of our family members, such as nursing home staff members. A wrongful death is one in which the death could have been prevented if not for the negligence of the liable party. If you believe your loved one’s death was wrongful and want to seek justice and closure via the legal system, contact a wrongful death lawyer in Blue Springs to discuss your legal options in the civil courts.

What makes a death wrongful in the eyes of the law?

Legally, a death may be considered wrongful if it could have been prevented through some reasonable action on the part of another party, but that other party behaved in a negligent manner (either through actions or failures to act) and this negligence gave rise to the untimely death of the deceased party. The surviving family members of the deceased then have the right to sue the liable party for damages related to the loss of their loved one.

Examples of wrongful death cases

During our four-decades-long experience in handling wrongful death cases in civil court, we have seen a variety of tragic circumstances come through our offices. Some examples of wrongful death cases include:

• Car accidents wherein one motorist’s negligent actions (red-light running, illegal U-turn, etc.) caused the death of another person.
• Birth injuries resulting in the death of an infant due to doctor negligence.
• Premises liability issues (rotten floorboards giving way on second story of a building, resulting in fatal fall accident, etc.).
• Product liability issues (faulty electrical wiring in a small appliance leading to electrocution of operator, etc.).
• Nursing home neglect or abuse resulting in fatality.
