A wrongful death claim exists when death results from someone else’s negligence or misconduct. Survivors may be entitled to compensation for economic and non-economic losses such as funeral costs and loss of companionship. California law sets strict deadlines, and our team can guide you through the process.
Who may file varies by state and relationship to the decedent. In California, survivors such as spouses, domestic partners, children, and sometimes parents may pursue a claim. We review eligibility with you during a consultation.
The filing deadline in California is typically two years from the date of death, though some cases have different timelines. It is important to consult promptly to protect your rights.
Compensation may cover medical bills, funeral expenses, loss of household services, and the decedent’s future earnings. The exact amount depends on factors like age and dependence on the decedent.
While you may handle some aspects on your own, wrongful death claims are complex. A lawyer can help with deadlines, negotiations, and presenting evidence in court.
Bring incident reports, medical records, insurance communications, and any notes from conversations with other parties. A list of witnesses can also be helpful.
Settlement value depends on damages proven, liability, and the strength of the evidence. Your attorney discusses realistic expectations after reviewing the facts.
Some cases settle out of court, while others require a trial. Your attorney will advise on the best path based on the evidence and goals.
Case duration varies, but thorough preparation can help. We aim to move efficiently while preserving rights and pursuing fair compensation.
