What Circumstances Might Lead to a Wrongful Death Suit?

“Wrongful death” is defined in Oklahoma Statutes as a death caused by someone else’s wrongful act, which could stem from recklessness or negligence, or could be the result of intentional action. There are a variety of scenarios that may lead to a wrongful death. Some of the most common include the following:

• Car, truck or motorcycle accidents: When an auto accident results in death, there may be grounds for a wrongful death claim.
• Pedestrian accidents: A wrongful death claim can arise when a pedestrian is struck and killed by a motor vehicle.
• Medical malpractice: We rely on medical professionals to keep us safe. Sometimes, providers fail to diagnose or treat or misdiagnose or mistreat someone — resulting in death.
• Product liability: A product liability wrongful death suit can arise when a product malfunctions or otherwise does not work as intended.
• Workplace accidents: We expect employers to maintain safe working conditions. Unfortunately, sometimes wrongful death claims arise out of incidents in the workplace.
• Nursing home abuse or neglect: If a loved one died as the result of mistreatment or neglect in a care facility, you may be entitled to compensation under a wrongful death claim.
• “Slip and fall” or other premises liability accidents: Businesses and property owners may be liable for wrongful death when accidents occur on site.
