There may be several causes of wrongful death while some dominating the scenario of a particular region than the other. This can be due to a combination of social-economic and sometimes geographical factors. Personal injuries can vary from product liability, animal attack to medical negligence related case.

Compensation may include- burial expenditure, medical expenditure caused due to the injury which finally led to death, etc.
