Birmingham Wrongful Death Cases

Birmingham wrongful death cases may be litigated under several different legal theories, depending on the unique facts of each case. The majority of Birmingham wrongful death cases are litigated under the law of negligence. A person is negligent in Birmingham wrongful death cases if he or she failed to use due caution to prevent a reasonably foreseeable risk of harm to another. Common carriers, such as airlines, cruise or bus lines, or rail companies, are held to a higher standard of care in preventing injury or death to passengers who use their services, however. In addition, if the death was the result of a defective product or poorly-maintained premises, the case may be argued under an alternative legal theory.
