What is Considered a Wrongful Death?

Under New Hampshire law, a wrongful death occurs when a person dies as a result of the wrongful act or neglect of another party. Essentially, any time a person’s actions or inactions lead to the death of another, and those actions could have been prevented under reasonable circumstances, it may be considered a wrongful death under New Hampshire law. Another way to think of it: If the decedent or deceased person could have filed a personal injury claim had their injuries not been fatal, then a wrongful death claim can likely be filed instead.

Common Causes of Wrongful Death

Common causes of wrongful death include:

  • Car, truck, or motorcycle accidents caused by negligent drivers.
  • Medical malpractice or negligence by healthcare providers.
  • Workplace accidents involving dangerous equipment, falls, or other hazards.
  • Defective or dangerous products, including prescription drugs or medical devices.
  • Criminal acts or violence, such as assault, battery, or murder.
  • Dangerous or unsafe premises, such as slip and fall accidents in public or private spaces.
  • Exposure to toxic substances, such as asbestos or other hazardous materials.

In situations like these, the responsible party may be held liable for wrongful death if their actions or inactions contributed to the victim’s untimely passing. It’s important for families to seek legal advice from a qualified wrongful death attorney if they believe their loved one’s death could have been prevented if reasonable care had been exercised by another party.
