Types of Wrongful Death Accidents
Accidents can occur anywhere when an individual or entity fails to take reasonable care to prevent potential hazards. Negligent behavior that can cause fatal accidents can range from reckless driving, to poor property maintenance, to failure to conduct safety tests on consumer goods. Every year, tens of thousands of fatal accidents occur. In 2008, unintentional injury accidents were the fifth leading cause of death, responsible for 121,902 fatalities in the United States. Some of the most common types of wrongful death accidents include:
- Car accidents
- Slip and fall accidents
- Motorcycle accidents
- Defective product accidents
- Unsafe pharmaceutical drugs
- Trucking accidents.
Seeking Compensation for a Wrongful Death
A wrongful death claim can relieve grieving families from the financial stresses associated with the loss of a loved one, and enable them to move on. Many wrongful death claimants find closure in a successful wrongful death claim as the negligent party is held accountable for their wrongful actions and forced to pay reparations. Entrusting your case to an attorney experienced in handling high damage claims can help ensure you receive the full compensation you are entitled to.

Defending Your Rights
After a fatal accident, it is not uncommon for families of the victim to be faced with an insurance adjuster offering them a settlement. It is important to keep in mind that the insurance adjusters do not have your interests at heart, but are invested in closing your case as quickly and for as little as possible. At Estey Bomberger, our Citrus Heights wrongful death accident attorneys are willing to prolong your case as long as necessary to secure your rightful compensation. When a settlement cannot be reached, your suit will immediately be filed and our attorneys will aggressively litigate the party at-fault for your loss until you receive the full compensation you deserve.
