How Do You Prove Wrongful Death?
In order to win a wrongful death claim you must be able to prove the following:
- The defendant owed a "duty of care" to the deceased individual (i.e. they had a responsibility to obey certain laws or take certain steps to prevent harm coming to the individual)
- The defendant breached that duty of care by breaking those laws or failing to take the necessary steps
- The defendant's breach led directly to the individual's death
