How Does A Wrongful Death In Simi Valley Happen?  

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that accidental injuries are the sixth leading cause of death in our state, claiming the lives of nearly 15,000 people each year. The negligence of others involved is generally responsible.

• Negligence on the part of product manufacturers and distributors, such as dangerous design defects, failing to provide proper instructions or warning labels, and not pulling defective items from shelves; 
• Negligence on the part of business owners, for failing to properly supervise employees or not putting required safety practices in place.  

While criminal charges may or may not be filed in your case, you can still get a sense of justice by filing a wrongful death claim in Simi Valley. Harris Personal Injury Lawyers provides the professional legal representation you need throughout the process.
