St. Clair County Health Statistics

A wrongful death can occur in many ways, including deaths that stem from workplace situations, driving an automobile or heavy equipment, medical malpractice, and defective products. Most commonly, wrongful death is the result of car, motorcycle or truck accidents, medical malpractice, dangerous working conditions, and exposure to harmful toxins.

St. Clair County in a recent year recorded 979 deaths, 65 of which were accidental and involved: motor vehicle accidents (26); poisoning (25); falls (7); suffocation (2); smoke inhalation or fire (1); drowning (1); and other causes (3).

Although not all accidental deaths are the result of the careless behavior of another person, many of these deaths do involve some aspect of careless or wrongful behavior by someone else. Immediately conducting an investigation that involves gathering facts and talking with witnesses is crucially important following the wrongful death of a family member.

The unexpected death of a loved one or family member is a shattering life experience. A death that is a direct result of someone else's negligence can be even harder to accept and process. In addition to the obvious personal loss a family experiences during such an event, families often face serious financial issues that can leave them struggling to pay bills.

No wrongful death lawsuit can reverse the emotional and psychological pain your family has endured. However, through a wrongful death lawsuit, you may be able to obtain monetary damages from the at-fault party that will undoubtedly help relieve some of the financial burden your family may be experiencing. Additionally, such a lawsuit draws attention to the type of behavior that caused your loved one's wrongful death. This attention can serve as a deterrent to others considering this behavior, alert the public at large that those who do engage in the behavior will be held accountable, and hopefully take steps to ensure other families don't suffer this type of pain and loss.

If you or a loved one has been injured or killed in any sort of accident due to the carelessness of another, call the Pell City wrongful death attorneys at Hollis, Wright & Clay, P.C. as soon as possible. Your consultation is free, and you pay nothing until we recover damages for you. You can reach us at 205.324.3600, 844.LAW.TALK, or online here.
