Wrongful death is a civil claim brought by the survivors when a death results from another person’s negligence or misconduct. The aim is to recover losses suffered by family members. These losses can include medical expenses, funeral costs, and the impact of lost companionship and financial support. A thoughtful approach considers both current and future consequences for your family.
In California, most wrongful death claims must be filed within the statute of limitations, typically two years from the date of death, though certain circumstances can alter this timeline. Timelines for related claims may also apply, so consulting with an attorney soon helps protect your rights.
Typically a representative of the deceased’s estate or the surviving spouse, domestic partner, or children may file. Other family members may benefit from the settlement or court award as permitted by state law.
