Types of Fatal Accident Cases Our Attorneys Handle

Filing a Wrongful Death Claim in Alabama

A fatal accident can occur when you least expect it, and in many cases it is the result of another person or entity’s negligent actions. Fatal accidents can occur on the road, in cars, on the job, riding a bike around town, in the workplace, or on someone’s improperly maintained premises.

In Alabama, a person may bring what is known as a wrongful death action against the responsible party if it can be proven that their negligence or failure to act reasonably resulted in the death of your family member. Wrongful death is defined under Alabama law as a death that is caused by the wrongful act, omission, or negligence or another. Although, Alabama law does not provide compensatory damages to the families of victims of fatal accidents, it does provide punitive damages, which are intended to punish the wrongdoer for his or her negligent actions. Working with a Birmingham wrongful death lawyer to pursue a wrongful death lawsuit after a loved one has died as a result of an accident can help the surviving family members of the deceased to achieve closure after the devastating event.
