Work accidents are more common than one may think, and especially in more manual-labor or high-risk type of jobs, such as construction. These accidents may end in minor injuries or cuts… but other times it can end disastrous with a death. In these types of situations, sometimes there could have been ways to prevent this death. If a loved one of the deceased suspects this to be the case, they may want to pursue a wrongful death case.

Employers are responsible for ensuring the safety of their workers, and especially in dangerous industries. When they neglect to do so, they are acting negligently. Any negligent or intentional action that one takes that causes the death of another can be considered a wrongful death case. For instance, the working conditions of an employee working in the mining industry may be dangerous; employers may not take the necessary and attainable safety precautions to protect the miners from these conditions. If a miner dies as a result of this negligence, the employer can be sued for wrongful death since they were acting negligently in protecting their employees. 

Any one of the close family members of the deceased may pursue a wrongful death case against whoever was responsible for the negligence that caused their death – oftentimes, this is the employer.
