Wrongful Convictions

If someone has died due to a negligent action in cases such as construction accidents, medical malpractice, vehicular accidents, police misconduct and product liability etc., a wrongful death charge can be pressed against the negligent person. A personal representative of the deceased person can bring a wrongful death action.
