Wrongful Death Matters

Compensation For a Preventable Tragedy

If you have lost a loved one as the result of a personal injury accident, no amount of money can properly compensate you. Wrongful death claims are incredibly challenging for the surviving family.

This is an extremely emotional and stressful time, and only a successful California wrongful death lawyer with expertise in this very specialized area of law should represent you. We will handle everything so that you can focus on grieving and putting your life back together.

Experienced Wrongful Death Attorneys

The term wrongful death is defined as the loss of life wrongfully caused by another individual or entity’s negligence. The claim is brought by the spouse, children and parents of the deceased. The heirs are entitled to damages for loss of their loved one, as well as funeral expenses and lost financial support. Often a survival action, a separate claim, can be brought by the victim’s estate if the person lived for a time before injuries proved fatal, seeking damages for the hospital expenses and the victim's pain and suffering prior to death.

Wrongful Death Cases Occur in Many Different Contexts, Including:

• Automobile, truck and motorcycle accidents
• Construction site accidents
