Wrongful Death Cases

One of the most difficult things one can face is the death of a loved one, particularly where it arises out of the negligence of another. You shouldn’t have to deal with the stress of pursuing the compensation you deserve on top of that.

This type of loss is devastating for anyone, leaving friends and family distressed and this personal loss can impact across all areas of your life. The emotional trauma can be intolerable, and the financial burden can be challenging, too.

The fact is that if the loss derived from someone else’s negligence, you may be able to file a wrongful death claim. If you choose to pursue compensation afer the loss of your loved one, we can help. We understand that no amount of money will ever make up for your loss, however we also know that fair and proper settlement and successful resolution of your claim may offer some sense of justice.

Although any type of negligent act by another contributing to the death of a loved one may be grounds for a wrongful death action, some common examples we have seen include:

• Car accidents
• Truck crashes
• Motorcycle accidents
• Workplace accidents
• Defective product accidents

In California, surviving spouses, domestic partners, and children of the deceased may seek compensation through a wrongful death action. The deceased’s parents or siblings may also be able to file suit. In order to bring this type of claim, you must have evidence that the death was the result of the intentional actions or negligent actions of the person or entity you are naming.
