Who Are the Victims in These Cases?

Medical malpractice wrongful death cases arise when a healthcare provider’s negligence causes a patient’s death. Common causes include:

• Surgical errors
• Failure to diagnose cancer or other serious conditions
• Medication errors
• Anesthesia mistakes
• Hospital-acquired infections from negligent care
• Failure to monitor or respond to deteriorating patient conditions

The families left behind — spouses, children, parents — are entitled to seek compensation not just for financial losses, but for the profound noneconomic harm of losing a loved one.
