Wrongful death claims arise when a death is caused by another’s negligent, reckless, or intentional conduct, and the at-fault party can be held financially responsible.
The process typically involves collecting evidence, determining damages, and pursuing amounts to support your family through this difficult time.
A wrongful death action is a civil claim brought by the deceased’s survivors for losses caused by another person’s wrongful act, while the death itself is not the crime—it’s a civil remedy.
Key elements include proving negligence, identifying at-fault parties, calculating damages, and navigating timelines in California courts.
