Wrongful Death Attorney

The North Carolina Wrongful Death statute defines wrongful death as "the death of a person…caused by a wrongful act, neglect or default of another...". The most common causes of wrongful death include automobile accidents, trucking accidents, motorcycle accidents, pedestrian accidents, products liability, and medical malpractice. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, motor vehicle traffic crashes are one of the leading causes of death in the United States for ages 3-34.
