Your Wrongful Death Questions Answered

A wrongful death lawsuit occurs when someone, be it a company, individual or any other entity ends the life of a person through negligence or direct intent. That is a very cold way of saying that someone you love died because of someone else. If you are facing this most tragic of circumstances here in San Diego, you need to know that there is a wrongful death lawyer on your side, ready to help you and represent you, and who will fight for your rights and the justice of the memory of the loved one you lost. Bryan R. Snyder understands your situation, and can help you today with the loss of your loved one. In this most tragic of circumstances, a wrongful death attorney is imperative.

How Do Wrongful Deaths Occur?

Wrongful deaths can occur in dozens of different scenarios. Some of the most common in San Diego include:

  • Car accidents. Careless drivers, poor road design, hazardous roadway conditions and defective parts can significantly contribute to a needless death, and legal action is sometimes appropriate to remedy the pain of loss.
  • Dangerous products. People have to have a reasonable amount of trust that the products they use every day have been tested by their manufacturer to be as safe as possible, and that they are warned about any potential dangers. If a company puts out a product they know to be dangerous and then fails to warn its customers about it, they can be held responsible for the resulting damages.
  • Defective products. If a company fails to adhere to manufacturing standards and best practices, or designs a product that has potentially fatal aspects, you can take them to court if they result in a wrongful death.
  • Malicious intent. If someone kills someone you love on purpose, a civil action to collect monetary compensation based on your loss is a very important part of the healing process, both emotionally and financially.
  • Negligence. Perhaps the simplest cause of wrongful death is the carelessness of someone else, be it because of medical malpractice, a dangerous car accident or just general lack of conscientiousness.
