A wrongful death claim is a civil action filed by survivors seeking compensation for losses resulting from someone’s negligence. It is separate from any criminal case and focuses on damages to the family.
In California, a wrongful death claim may be filed by the spouse, domestic partner, children, or other close family members, and by the deceased’s estate if appropriate. The case aims to recover losses such as medical costs, funeral expenses, loss of financial support, and the value of companionship.
The time limit is generally two years from the date of death, but there are exceptions. Certain factors can shorten or extend the deadline depending on the circumstances.
Compensation can include economic damages like medical and funeral costs, lost wages, and non economic damages such as loss of companionship. Each case is unique and assessed individually.
Often lawsuits are settled out of court through negotiation or mediation, though some cases go to trial when necessary. Our goal is to achieve a fair result as efficiently as possible.
Attorney fees in these cases are typically on a contingency basis, meaning you pay nothing upfront and the attorney is paid from any settlement or verdict.
If liability is unclear, we begin with a thorough investigation to gather evidence, consult experts, and assess liability.
Case duration varies; some cases settle within months, others take years depending on complexity and court schedules.
While you can discuss some aspects on your own, wrongful death cases are complex and best handled by an attorney who focuses on this area.
Ling Law Group offers compassionate guidance and persistent representation for Lomita families, with a commitment to clear communication and diligent case management.
