When someone's negligent behavior effectively kills an innocent person, a Portland wrongful death attorney can help the family and survivors of the victim. Wrongful death is a type of personal injury lawsuit that can be filed against someone responsible for the death of another person. If the case is strong, Hendricks Law Firm, PC can assemble an intelligent and effective legal argument that represents the rights of the victim's family and holds the responsible party accountable for the consequences of their actions.
The first element that must be proven by a Portland wrongful death attorney is the negligence of the party in question. Once negligence has been established, it must be shown that the death:
- was a direct result of the accused's negligence, and
- would not have happened without the negligence
In other words, there are generally multiple factors at play in any situation that leads to the loss of life. Car accidents have multiple vehicles; medical surgeries have various drugs, procedures, and conditions; etc. Not surprisingly, this area of law is quite complicated as well. The best way to learn your rights and your options is to speak with Hendricks Law Firm, PC directly. A Portland wrongful death attorney can answer your questions and help you decide what to do next after your loss.
