A wrongful death is a legal action brought by the estate or beneficiaries when a death results from another’s negligence or fault. It seeks compensation for losses tied to the death, including financial support, medical and funeral expenses, and the loss of companionship.
California allows a two-year statute of limitations for wrongful death claims, with certain exceptions. It is important to begin the process promptly to preserve evidence and meet deadlines.
Damages in wrongful death cases can include medical expenses, funeral costs, loss of future earnings, loss of consortium, and other related financial and non-financial losses depending on the facts of the case.
While you can file some claims on your own, wrongful death cases are complex. An experienced attorney can help you navigate deadlines, fault, and damages, and handle negotiations and court filings.
Liability is determined by evaluating negligence, duty of care, breach, causation, and whether those factors led to the death. Evidence may include police reports, medical records, and witness testimony.
Bring medical bills, accident reports, police reports, insurance communications, and any other documentation to your initial consultation.
Some cases resolve through settlements, while others go to trial. Our firm prepares thoroughly for any outcome and will discuss options with you.
Damages are calculated to compensate losses such as medical expenses, funeral costs, lost earnings, and loss of companionship, with consideration of future losses when applicable.
The timeline depends on case facts, complexity, and court schedules. Some cases settle quickly; others may take years. We provide updates and guidance throughout.
