Wrongful death is a legal term used to characterize a fatality caused by the conduct of another person or entity. Wrongful death can result from common occurrences such as car crashes, hospital or medical errors, and workplace accidents. In more unusual circumstances, if someone dies during a supervised activity such as a recreational or spiritual retreat, certification class, or radio contest, a wrongful death lawsuit may also be able to be brought against the potentially responsible parties. This two part blog series will cover three specific supervised activities that may have led to wrongful death. Part one will describe a wrongful death suit that has already been decided by a California jury in which a woman died after participating in a radio show contest. If you believe that a loved one has been killed in a wrongful death action in So Cal, call 1-800-ALAWPRO to speak for a lawyer about your case for free.
A woman who was a mother, wife and daughter died after participating in a radio contest in Sacramento. In the wrongful death trial filed by her surviving family members, a jury awarded over $16 million to her children, spouse and ex-husband. The victim was taking part in the station promotion to win a Wii. The radio station, KDND “The End,” had contestants drink as much water as they could without vomiting or urinating. The woman died from water intoxication. The radio station’s owner Entercom Sacramento was found negligent in the woman’s death. The multi-million dollar award was for economic damages and the loss of the affection, assistance, care, comfort, companionship, guidance, love, moral support, protection, society, and training of the victim.
