Since North Carolina has a contributory negligence law, most insurers will challenge wrongful death suits by trying to establish that the deceased contributed to their fatal accident. Someone found to share as little as 1% of responsibility for causing an accident may not be eligible to recover damages.
As with all personal injury cases, working with experts will help strengthen your case and help to recover compensation for the loss of your loved one. With over twenty-seven years of legal experience, attorney Fred DeVore handles personal injury and fatal accident claims. In wrongful death and fatal accident cases, attorney DeVore consults with experts, including economists to calculate the value of loss wages and medical experts to calculate your loved one's pain and suffering.
Experts can also be used to demonstrate fault on the part of manufacturers, other drivers, employers, property owners and other negligent parties. Most importantly, these experts can be used to try and prove that your loved one cannot be held in any way responsible for the accident that claimed their life.
Types of Fatal Accidents
A wrongful death claim can result from any major accident or dangerous situation, including:
- Auto Accidents
- Premises Liability
- Construction Accidents
- Food Poisoning
- Medical Malpractice
- Defective Products
- Inadequate Safety Measures
Under North Carolina law, the executor of the deceased's estate is the person who must bring the wrongful death suit. Attorney DeVore can help you determine who can recover damages in your wrongful death suit.
