Toronto Wrongful Death Lawyers

If you have lost a loved one as a result of a negligent act, you and your family are justifiably emotionally devastated. These kinds of situations are known as “wrongful deaths.”

Wrongful death refers to litigation raised against a negligent party who caused the untimely death of another person. These lawsuits arise when a person dies through no fault of their own, but through the reckless actions of another entity. A wrongful death claim can be raised by immediate family, dependents, spouses, life partners, and others suffering substantial emotional damages from the loss. Those responsible for a wrongful death can be single individuals, companies, or even government agencies. Commonly, a negligent party may be a drunk driver, faulty car manufacturer, or careless city planner.

The wrongful death of a loved one can be painful and emotionally overwhelming for surviving family members, especially if the fatality was preventable. Often, wrongful death leaves significant financial hardship for remaining loved ones that add monetary burdens on top of emotional grief. At Mazin & Associates, PC, our proficient Toronto wrongful death lawyers strive to lift the financial burden that is placed on surviving loved ones by advocating on your behalf to hold culpable parties accountable.

Common Causes of Wrongful Death

A wrongful death claim can be brought against a variety of individuals, including manufacturers, designers, employees, companies, or medical professionals. However, a claim necessitates proof that the victim’s death was not caused solely from their fault. Additionally, it must be proven that the loss has resulted in measurable damages to surviving family members. Examples of various parties that may be responsible for a wrongful death include:

  • A negligent, reckless, or drunk driver
  • A medical professional who engages in malpractice
  • The designer of a defective roadway, bridge, or other unsafe structure
  • The manufacturer of a dangerous medication or drug
  • The manufacturer of faulty auto parts, vehicles, or other products
  • A bartender who continues to serve an intoxicated driver
  • A government agency that does not provide adequate warnings for potentially hazardous roadways or other circumstances
  • A correctional officer who does not intervene in potentially fatal situations

Wrongful death claims seek to rectify some of the financial damages that may ensue from an unexpected death. These damages can include funeral expenses, lost lifetime wages, medical bills, and losses resulting from pain and suffering.

During this difficult time, our wrongful death lawyers will dedicate ourselves to helping surviving family members understand their legal options and rights in a wrongful death claim. While monetary compensation cannot compensate for the death of a loved one, it can at least provide financial security to help with short and long term needs. We have a network of social and psychological counselors who can help during this most difficult time. It is important to contact a wrongful death lawyer at Mazin & Associates, PC right away as there are very short time limits to applying for various expenses.
