Nothing is more painful than losing a loved one to another’s negligence. The Jonesboro wrongful death lawyers at T. Madden & Associates P.C. handle a variety of claims arising out of a person or company’s negligence. If your loved one died in a car accident, truck accident, workplace accident, or due to medical negligence, then you could be entitled to compensation, including medical expenses, funeral expenses, and loss of future income.
In order to recover compensation in a wrongful death case, the plaintiff must prove fault on the part of the defendant. Negligence is based on the duty of care, which is a legal obligation that one has for another whenever doing anything that could potentially harm them, such as when operating a vehicle or performing surgery.
In order to win your lawsuit, your wrongful death attorney will have to prove that the defendant owed the plaintiff a duty of care. For example, drivers owe each other a duty of care as well as bikers, pedestrians, and passengers. Employers owe their employees a duty of care to maintain a safe premises for work.
Next, your attorney has to prove that the defendant was negligent and violated their duty of care. Then they have to show that the breach of duty of care was a direct cause of your loved one’s death. Finally, they will have to demonstrate that you suffered losses because of the untimely passing of your loved one.
