A wrongful death claim is a civil lawsuit filed by the survivors of a loved one who died because of someone else’s negligence, recklessness, or intentional misconduct under California law. Unlike criminal cases, wrongful death claims focus on compensating the family for losses rather than punishing the responsible party.
After a wrongful death, it is important to give yourself time to grieve while also preserving any relevant information related to the incident. This may include medical records, accident reports, or other documentation. Speaking with a wrongful death lawyer can help you understand your options and next steps under California law.
California law limits who may file a wrongful death claim. This typically includes a surviving spouse or domestic partner, children, and in some cases other dependents or heirs, depending on the circumstances. An attorney can help clarify eligibility based on your specific situation.
A wrongful death claim may address both economic and non-economic losses. These can include funeral and burial expenses, medical costs related to the final injury or illness, loss of financial support, and the loss of companionship, care, and guidance the deceased would have provided.
Negligence generally requires showing that another party owed a duty of care, failed to meet that duty, and that this failure caused the death. Evidence may include records, witness statements, expert analysis, and other documentation relevant to how the incident occurred.
A wrongful death lawyer can investigate the circumstances of the loss, gather and review evidence, handle legal filings, and communicate with insurers or opposing parties. Our role is to help protect your rights and guide you through each stage of the case.
