Every day, innocent people are killed by car and truck crashes, dangerous consumer products, occupational and industrial accidents, fires, explosions, dangerous premises and other tragedies. A large and unfortunate source of Wrongful Deaths are Caused by Medical Malpractice. The sudden loss of a family member due to an accident causes physical, emotional and financial strain. Often, the suddenness of the loss and confusion leave the family feeling powerless, with many questions unanswered. Big companies – particularly the big insurance companies – are usually reluctant to cooperate. And it can be extremely difficult to find the truth.
