Examples of Wrongful Death Cases In Virginia

Fatal accidents happen every day in Virginia - but how many of these accidents were preventable? And how many of these accidents were caused by the negligence or carelessness or another person or entity?

Losing someone in a fatal accident - such as a car accident or slip and fall accident - can affect every facet of your life. Lost wages, pain and suffering, or loss of companionship can change your life forever. In some cases, the person responsible for your loved one's death should also be responsible for the impact that person's death had on his or her family.

Here are some recent examples of wrongful death lawsuits in Virginia:

· The families of two young people killed in the Virginia tech shootings are suing the school, the school's counseling center, a local mental health office, and a few of the school's top officials for wrongful death. The families argue that any one of these entities could have saved lives if they had not ignored warning signs or delayed informing students of potential danger.

· The parents of a boy who died in a fall from his dorm room window are suing school officials for the wrongful death of their son. The school informed the distraught boy that he would be expelled a few weeks before graduation despite warnings that he should not be told without the emotional support of friends and family.

· The families of three Boy Scouts killed in a car crash successfully sued Boy Scouts of America and the Scout leader who was at the wheel for wrongful death.
