Wrongful Death
A wrongful death is any death that is caused by the misconduct or negligence of another party. The misconduct that leads to a wrongful death could be willful or it could be the result of negligence, and this misconduct could be carried out by an individual or a company, as in the case with pharmaceutical companies and wrongful deaths caused by dangerous drugs. The law entitles survivors of the deceased in a case of wrongful death to recover financial compensation for the loss of their loved one. If you have lost someone you love as a result of a wrongful death, a lawyer from Arentz Law Group, P.C. can provide you with the support you need while you pursue the compensation you deserve.
