Losing a loved one is devastating, especially when their death could have been prevented.

What is Wrongful Death?  

Wrongful death occurs when someone dies due to the negligence or wrongful conduct of another party. Common causes of wrongful death include car accidents, medical malpractice, slip and fall accidents, and workplace accidents. 

Who Can File a Wrongful Death Claim?  

In California, the following individuals can file a wrongful death lawsuit: 

  • Spouses  

  • Children  

  • Parents  

  • Other dependents or relatives who were financially dependent on the deceased. 

Compensation in a Wrongful Death Case:  

While no amount of money can ever replace a loved one, a wrongful death lawsuit can provide financial relief to help cover: 

  • Funeral and burial expenses  

  • Medical expenses incurred prior to death.  

  • Lost income and future earning capacity  

  • Loss of companionship and emotional distress
