Description
What is Wrongful Death? Wrongful death is a legal term that describes a situation where negligence leads to the death of another person. Wrongful death occurs for a variety of reasons, including medical malpractice , workplace accidents, automobile or airline accidents, exposure to hazardous conditions or substances, or other serious accidents during a supervised activity. The goal of the attorney is to make sure that the survivors and beneficiaries are compensated for their loss and cared for during the years after the death has taken place.
Workers in the manufacturing industry, construction industry, mining industry and other industries are often exposed to toxic chemicals and other hazardous conditions which can cause serious permanent damage. However, homeowners and average consumers can also be exposed to dangerous toxins causing irreparable damage and even death. The Law Offices of John W. Byrnes pursue toxic tort claims in order to hold negligent manufacturers, industries and corporations accountable for the damage caused to these individuals and families.
Families of patients are sometimes reluctant to pursue a wrongful death claim against a doctor or a hospital, even when they never receive adequate answers to questions about why their loved one has died. John W. Byrnes is a Louisville wrongful death lawyer who has worked with many families coping with the devastating effects of wrongful death.
Products liability refers to the liability of any or all parties along the chain of manufacture of any product for damage caused by that product. This includes the manufacturer of component parts, an assembling manufacturer, the wholesaler, and the retail store owner. Product liability suits may be brought by the consumer or someone to whom the product was loaned. While products are generally thought of as tangible personal property, products liability law has stretched that definition to include intangibles (gas), naturals (pets), real estate (house), and writings (navigational charts).
