Some of the most common types of motor vehicle accidents and injuries that can lead to wrongful deaths are:

SUV Accidents. SUV's have been known to have a much higher chance of rolling over than other types of vehicles. Although precautions have been added to SUV's to help eliminate the problem, nothing is foolproof.
Automobile Accidents. One of the most common types of automobile accidents is caused by negligent drivers. Being distracted, pre-occupied, not watching the road, texting while driving and many other careless actions cause wrongful death accident to someone else.
Van Accidents. The frightening thing about van accidents is that in many cases the van is carrying children to and from school, sporting events or other activities. Large vans, such as 15 passenger vans, are more likely to roll over than any other type of motor vehicle.
Bus Accidents. There have been more and more bus accidents that have occurred recently. Most buses lack seatbelts including school buses, giving no protection to the passengers.
Boating Accidents. A boat is a motor vehicle where wrongful deaths occur. The most common causes of boating accidents include, drinking, excessive speed, carelessness, and not paying attention.
ATV Accidents. ATV accidents are becoming more and more common. Children as well as adults are riding them. Most ATV accidents occur because of recklessness and not knowing how to properly operate the equipment.

There are many other causes of wrongful death accidents, but most of them are the result of someone else's negligence or a defective device.
