How is liability proven in a wrongful death case in Greensboro, North Carolina?

Wrongful death occurs when a person’s death is caused by the negligence or intentional actions of another. To prove negligence in a wrongful death case in North Carolina, the plaintiff must demonstrate that the defendant owed a legal duty of care to the deceased person, breached this duty by acting or failing to act unreasonably, that this breach directly caused the deceased person’s death, and that the deceased person’s estate suffered actual damages.

However, the validity of a wrongful death claim depends upon negligence and the unique facts of your case. An experienced North Carolina wrongful death attorney can help you assess the viability of your claim by evaluating the specific circumstances surrounding the death and determining whether the necessary elements of negligence can be proven during a free consultation.
