Wrongful Death Statistic: In 2005, 139 children of toddler age were killed due to suffocation. Data Source: National Center for Health Statistics
When a person is killed as a result of the negligence of another person, the law calls this kind of a claim a "Wrongful Death" claim. Examples of wrongful death claims could include deaths caused by drunk driving; the manufacture of a defective or dangerous product; the construction of an unsound structure or building, construction accident, and medical malpractice. The term "wrongful death" really refers to the type of damage suffered, and the cause may be any one or more types of negligence claims. There is usually a second claim asserted for the "conscious pain and suffering" of the decedent before their death, where appropriate.
