Most Common Causes of Wrongful Death Lawsuits
Motor vehicle and pedestrian accidents or slip and fall/trip and fall accidents are among the most common causes of wrongful death lawsuits.
Read on to learn more.
Fatal Car, Pedestrian, and Other Motor Vehicle Accidents
Car accidents are a leading cause of death in the United States. The broad definition of car accidents includes pedestrian, bicycle, motorcycle, truck, and other fatalities involving motorized vehicles.
Car wrecks and collisions occur for many reasons, among them:
- Distracted driving
- Speeding
- Texting while driving
- Driving while under the influence
- Failing to obey traffic laws
When a loved one passes due to a car accident, the victim’s family may be able to file a wrongful death claim against the liable party. Get in touch with us to learn more.
Slip and Fall Accidents
Slip and fall accidents can be fatal. Even when they don’t result in death, the consequences are life-altering. People may face brain injuries, broken bones, or paralysis.
Slip and fall or trip and fall accidents usually occur when establishments fail to adequately maintain the premises, warn visitors of faulty or slippery floors, or provide adequate lighting.
Trip and Fall Accidents
Trip and fall accidents are sometimes mistaken for being the same as slip and fall accidents, but there are notable legal distinctions. Brian D. Guralnick Injury Lawyers represents both slip and fall victims and trip and fall accidents.
Trip and fall accidents typically occur when an object on the ground prevents a person from being able to put one foot in front of the other — usually causing them to topple forward.
By contrast, slip and fall accidents typically result from a lack of friction between a person’s feet and the walking surface.
Slip and fall accidents usually result in a person falling backward, while trip and fall cases primarily result in an individual toppling forward.
The distinction may seem trivial if you’ve lost a family member due to a fall-down accident. But it’s crucial to have Boynton Beach legal representation that understands the difference between the types of fall-down cases and how to pursue the best result for you and your loved ones.

What Kind of Damages Can Be Claimed in a Wrongful Death Lawsuit in Boynton Beach?
If your loved one has been a wrongful death victim, you may be entitled to compensation for emotional and economic impact.
The most common damages sought by surviving claimants include:
- Funeral and burial expenses

TESTIMONIALS FROM OUR HAPPY CLIENTS
What an amazing experience I had with Brian and his team. I was referred by a friend after a bad accident. Patricia & Lily have gone above & beyond to be attentive, quick to respond, and very kind. I feel they really cared about my well being, and about my outcome. Brian was a pleasure to work with. You can tell he cares about his company, and it shows in the way he does business and his staff. Thank you again! I will definitely be sending people your way.
I chose Brian Guralnick for my personal injury case because of my experience with Brian on a previous business relationship that I had with him many years ago. At that time I could tell that this man was detail oriented and passionate and caring.
This was my very first experience with a personal injury lawsuit and Brian and his team very professionally advised me and compassionately guided me at every turn. My case was settled much faster than I had expected and for a settlement amount that was higher than I expected. When Brian says that he will “Demand More”, he is absolutely telling the truth.
Brian and his team absolutely know what they are doing.
Brian Guralnick and his staff are the best there is out there! Each staff member was always professional, personable and a pleasure to work with.
