What is wrongful Death?
Wrongful death refers to a situation where an individual loses their life due to the negligence, recklessness, or wrongdoing of another party.
Common causes of fatal accidents
Fatal accidents can occur in numerous ways, and each case is unique. Some common causes of wrongful death include:
- Car Accidents: Reckless driving, drunk driving, distracted driving, or failure to follow traffic laws can result in fatal accidents on the roads of Norfolk.
- Medical Malpractice: Negligence by healthcare professionals, including misdiagnosis, surgical errors, medication mistakes, or failure to provide adequate care, can lead to tragic consequences.
- Workplace Accidents: Hazardous working conditions, lack of safety protocols, or negligence by employers can result in fatal accidents in industries such as construction, manufacturing, or transportation.
- Defective Products: Poorly designed or manufactured products, such as faulty machinery, dangerous medications, or defective vehicle parts, can cause fatal accidents.

norfolk, VA wrongful death FAQ
-
What is the difference between civil and criminal cases filed because of someone’s death?
The government pursues a criminal case under criminal law. A civil case is generally a legal dispute between individuals and organizations. Whereas criminal cases can impose jail time, monetary damages, and other penalties, civil cases generally provide only monetary damages.
-
Do all states have the same laws regarding wrongful death?
No, many differences exist among state laws. Some states don’t allow specific damage awards and may impose various statutes of limitation. This is just one reason why working with the highly experienced Norfolk wrongful death attorneys at Kalfus & Nachman PC is so important to ensure your rights are fully protected.
-
What’s the difference among lawsuits brought for wrongful death, murder, and medical malpractice?
Murder is a criminal act and is therefore prosecuted by the state under criminal laws. Besides monetary damages, jail time and other penalties may be imposed if the individual is found guilty. Wrongful death is prosecuted in the civil courts, with a preponderance of the evidence used to prove the facts of the case. Medical malpractice is a type of negligent behavior by medical professionals. However, not every medical malpractice case qualifies as a wrongful death case, and not all wrongful death cases qualify as medical malpractice.
