An individual may be prosecuted criminally for causing another person's death and may also be sued in civil court in a wrongful death action. Most notably was the case of celebrity O.J. Simpson. Many factors may contribute to the wrongful death of another (medical malpractice, automobile accident, pedestrian accident, motorcycle accident, exposure to hazards at work, or death while performing a supervised activity).
