A wrongful death claim is a civil action filed by eligible survivors to seek compensation for losses caused by another’s negligence. It does not punish the negligent party criminally, but it can help recover medical and burial costs, loss of income, and loss of guidance and companionship.
In California, who can file depends on the relationship to the deceased, typically spouses, children, or other close relatives may file. We review eligibility and guide families through the process.
California generally requires filing within two years of death, with some exceptions. Early action can preserve evidence and improve outcomes.
Damages may include medical costs, funeral expenses, loss of financial support, and loss of companionship, among other factors.
A survival action allows the deceased person’s pain and suffering to be pursued by the estate or heirs, separate from a wrongful death claim.
While not required, having a lawyer helps protect your rights, navigate complex deadlines, and coordinate with insurers and experts.
Compensation is based on available evidence of losses, future earnings, and the degree of fault. An attorney helps quantify and pursue these damages.
Insurance adjusters may offer settlements early. It’s important to avoid giving statements without legal guidance and to have someone on your side to review terms.
A wrongful death claim can help families recover financial stability, cover ongoing expenses, and plan for the future, though outcomes vary.
Bring identifying information for the deceased, your relationship, relevant medical and death documents, and any insurance information you have.
