Wrongful Death Statistics in The United States

Wrongful death cases are sadly very common in the United States. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported the following statistics for wrongful death in the United States in the year 2017:

• It is reported that motor vehicle accidents were the leading cause of death for children aged 10, 11 and 17 in the United States
