Wrongful Death
The loss of a loved one due to medical negligence is a heartbreaking experience that no family should have to endure. At Vigil Law Firm, we are committed to helping families seek justice and financial compensation for the wrongful death of their loved ones caused by medical malpractice or negligence.
Understanding Wrongful Death
Wrongful death occurs when a patient dies as a result of a healthcare provider’s negligence or improper care. This can happen in a variety of medical settings, including hospitals, nursing homes, or during surgery. Families left behind often face emotional devastation, financial hardship, and a lifetime of grief.
In wrongful death cases, it’s not just about compensating for the loss—it’s about holding healthcare providers accountable for their actions. These cases can provide families with the financial resources they need to cover medical bills, funeral expenses, and the loss of future income, while also seeking justice for their loved one.
Common Causes of Wrongful Death
Wrongful death can result from various forms of medical negligence, including:
- Surgical Errors: Mistakes during surgery can lead to fatal outcomes, such as excessive bleeding or organ damage.
- Misdiagnosis: Failing to properly diagnose a serious condition can prevent the patient from receiving life-saving treatment.
- Medication Errors: Prescribing the wrong medication or dosage can result in fatal reactions or complications.
- Neglect: Failure to provide adequate care or supervision in hospitals, nursing homes, or other facilities can lead to a patient’s untimely death.
