  • Why do you have reason to believe your loved one’s death could have been prevented?

  • Do you have any evidence of negligence, wrongdoing, malicious intent, or fraud?

  • Did police respond to the incident, and if so, did they draft an official report?

  • Were there any eyewitnesses?

  • Did the victim die immediately, or was he or she sick or injured for some time following the accident?
