The Most Common Types of Accidents That Lead to Wrongful Death

Wrongful death is a serious problem that can occur in Bellevue. Wrongful death occurs when someone dies as a result of the negligence of another party. Wrongful deaths are often difficult to understand, but they can be devastating for those left behind.

Motor vehicle accidents: These are the most common cause of wrongful death, and they can include anything from car crashes and truck accidents to motorcycle accidents and pedestrian collisions. In order for someone to be found negligent in a motor vehicle accident, they must have acted unreasonably or carelessly—a standard that is difficult for the average person to meet.

Workplace accidents - Workers' compensation benefits are available for workers who are killed on the job due to another employee's negligence or error. These benefits include payment for funeral expenses and medical bills related to the treatment of injuries sustained while working at your job site.

Who Can File a Wrongful Death Lawsuit?

A wrongful death lawsuit is a legal action that can be taken by the family of someone who has died due to the negligence of another party. In Nebraska, there are specific requirements that must be met for a wrongful death lawsuit to be filed by the family members of a deceased person.

In Nebraska, there are three prerequisites to bringing a civil wrongful death claim:

• An individual is deceased.
• This person's demise was directly caused by someone else's negligence.
• The deceased's surviving spouse or dependents are suing for compensation as a result of the financial burden of losing their loved one.
• A further condition is that the deceased must have died within two years of when their injury was caused. If this requirement is not met, then the family will not be able to file a wrongful death claim in Bellevue, Nebraska.
