Losing a loved one due to negligence is devastating, and the pain is amplified when the death was preventable. At Trial Lawyers of Wisconsin, we stand with families in wrongful death cases, seeking justice and accountability for their loss. Our team understands the deep emotional toll such tragedies bring and is committed to providing compassionate legal support to families during these difficult times.

Common Causes of Wrongful Death

Wrongful death cases stem from various situations where negligence or recklessness plays a role. Some of the most common causes include:

Vehicle Collisions

Tragic accidents caused by reckless or distracted drivers are a leading cause of wrongful deaths. Whether it’s a car crash, truck accident, or motorcycle collision, these incidents leave families grappling with immense grief.

Medical Malpractice

Errors in treatment, diagnosis, or surgical procedures can lead to preventable deaths. Medical professionals have a duty of care, and when this is breached, the consequences can be fatal.

Workplace Accidents

Unsafe working conditions, lack of proper training, or failure to adhere to safety protocols often result in fatal workplace accidents. Industries like construction and manufacturing are particularly high-risk.

Defective Products

Poorly designed or malfunctioning products can cause fatal injuries. From faulty car parts to unsafe household appliances, product defects put consumers at serious risk.

Premises Liability

Negligence in maintaining safe property conditions can lead to fatal accidents, such as falls, fires, or structural collapses.

The Emotional and Financial Toll on Families

The loss of a loved one is more than just an emotional tragedy; it’s a financial and psychological burden that can last a lifetime.

Grief and Anguish

Families often experience profound emotional pain, compounded by the knowledge that the death was preventable. Coping with such loss is a long and challenging journey.

Loss of Financial Support

The deceased often provides essential income or benefits for their family. Losing this support can place immense financial pressure on surviving family members.

Funeral Expenses

The cost of funerals and burials can be significant, adding to the financial strain during an already challenging time.

Loss of Companionship

The absence of a loved one’s guidance, love, and emotional support leaves a void that is deeply felt by families.

Emotional Impact on Children

When a parent is lost, children may struggle with psychological challenges, including depression, anxiety, and behavioral issues.

Premises Liability: Ensuring Safety with Trial Lawyers of Wisconsin

Unsafe property conditions can lead to serious injuries, and property owners have a duty to maintain a safe environment. At Trial Lawyers of Wisconsin, we advocate for victims of premises liability cases, holding negligent property owners accountable.

Common Premises Liability Cases

Premises liability cases arise when property owners fail to provide a safe environment. Common examples include:

Slip and Fall Accidents

Wet floors, uneven surfaces, or poorly maintained walkways are among the most frequent causes of slip and fall injuries.

Inadequate Security

Property owners must implement sufficient security measures to protect visitors. Failure to do so can result in assaults, thefts, or other violent incidents.

Unsafe Structures

Collapsing balconies, broken stairs, or defective elevators pose significant risks to visitors.

Fire Hazards

A lack of smoke detectors, sprinklers, or clear emergency exits can lead to severe injuries or fatalities during fires.

Swimming Pool Accidents

Unfenced pools, lack of warning signs, or poor maintenance can result in drowning incidents or other injuries.

Common Injuries from Unsafe Premises

Victims of premises liability incidents often suffer severe injuries, including:

Fractures and Sprains

Falls due to unsafe conditions often lead to broken bones and sprained ligaments, requiring medical intervention and therapy.

Head Injuries

Concussions or traumatic brain injuries can result from falls or falling objects, impacting cognitive abilities and quality of life.

Burn Injuries

Severe burns caused by fire hazards or chemical exposure often require extensive treatment and rehabilitation.

Emotional Trauma

Victims of violent incidents on unsafe premises may experience anxiety, PTSD, or depression, requiring mental health support.
