A wrongful death claim is a civil action brought by the estate or eligible survivors to recover damages caused by another person’s negligence.

In California, survivors may pursue damages for funeral costs, medical bills, lost financial support, and loss of companionship.
In California, the decedent’s surviving spouse, domestic partner, children, and in some cases other family members may file. An executor or administrator of the estate typically handles the claim on behalf of the family.
Most wrongful death actions must be filed within two years of the death, though certain circumstances can adjust deadlines. A Campbell attorney can confirm the timeline for your case.
Damages may include funeral and medical expenses, the loss of financial support, and non-economic losses such as companionship and care. In some situations, additional damages may be available.
Having experienced guidance helps ensure deadlines are met, evidence is gathered effectively, and negotiations are conducted with care. We offer a free, no-obligation consultation to review your options.

A survival action covers the deceased’s losses from the time of the injury until death. This action is separate from a wrongful death claim but can be pursued in the same case if applicable.
Settlements typically come after a demand package is reviewed by insurers. If a fair settlement cannot be reached, the case may proceed to litigation, where a judge or jury decides.
Many wrongful death cases settle, but some do go to court when a fair settlement cannot be reached. We prepare thoroughly to advocate for your family in either path.
