Wrongful death

Wrongful death suits arise when negligence, misconduct, or unsafe conditions result in the loss of life. These cases can involve motor vehicle accidents, workplace incidents, medical malpractice, prescription drug errors, or exposure to harmful substances. The legal process often hinges on identifying the underlying cause of death and determining whether alcohol, drugs, or toxic exposures played a contributing role.

Toxicology helps establish timelines of use, levels of impairment, and potential effects of substances on behavior, judgment, or health. Courts and juries rely on this scientific evidence to understand the circumstances that led to a tragedy, and attorneys use it to support or challenge claims of responsibility.​


By providing clear answers to questions about impairment, poisoning, or exposure, toxicology becomes a critical tool in bringing clarity and resolution to wrongful death claims.
