Wrongful death in US law refers to deaths resulting from the willful or negligent actions of another, inflicting emotional and financial damage on families.
According to the CDC, over 200,000 people die each year due to unintentional or accidental causes, which leads to substantial wrongful death cases.
Punitive damages aim to punish reckless defendants and deter future incidents, influencing the outcomes of wrongful death cases by addressing negligence.
The emotional toll of losing a family member unexpectedly can cause trauma, financial instability, and long-term impacts on mental health and family dynamics.
