Wrongful death cases can often be long and drawn out. Finding exactly who caused a car accident is not always plain and simple, particularly when alcohol is involved. Airplane crashes, due to their nature tend to take particularly long to reach settlement. There are usually many people and agencies involved. Medical malpractice suits can also take a long time as medical experts are brought in. Product liability cases can also be drawn out and is important to have an expert lawyer to represent you.
While many wrongful death cases are settled in the pre-trial stage some go on to a judge or jury trial. Unlike criminal cases, in a civil case the jury does not have to be unanimous, they merely need to reach a majority decision. (In most states)
If you believe you may have a case for wrongful death it is worth consulting a personal injury lawyer who specializes in wrongful death lawsuits. They can advise you on who is eligible to file, and whether they feel you have a likely case. There is nothing pleasant about losing a relative whatever the cause, but you may be able to get the compensation you deserve.
