Wrongful death focuses on losses suffered by survivors after the death, such as financial support and companionship. A survival action mirrors the deceased’s personal injury claim, seeking damages for medical expenses and pain before death. Both may be pursued together in California depending on the case.
In California, wrongful death actions generally must be filed within two years of the death. Some circumstances may affect the deadline, so it is important to consult promptly. Missing deadlines can bar your claim.
Compensation may include medical and funeral expenses, lost household income, loss of companionship, and other related damages. An attorney can assess your family’s specific losses and pursue appropriate remedies.
While not required, having legal counsel helps ensure rights are protected, deadlines are met, and claims are valued fairly through negotiations or court action.
Many wrongful death cases are handled on a contingency basis, meaning you pay no upfront fees. Fees are paid from a portion of the recovery if the case succeeds.
Bring medical and funeral bills, police or incident reports, witness contacts, and any correspondence with insurers.
Many wrongful death cases are resolved through negotiations or settlements, but some matters proceed to trial if needed to obtain fair compensation.
Timing varies based on liability, damages, and court schedules. Some cases settle quickly, others require more time for evidence and negotiation.
