Wrongful Death

What is a Wrongful Death?

A wrongful death occurs when a person is killed by another person. In most wrongful death cases, the death results from the negligent actions of another person. However, there are also wrongful death cases that occur when a person intentionally takes the life of another person. 

California Wrongful Death Claims

When families have lost their loved ones and they know that their loved ones were wrongfully killed, it can be quite shocking and traumatic. Families will have to deal with immense suffering ever time they think about their lost loved ones, who would still be alive if it were not for other peoples’ negligence. Due to the emotional pain and financial stress families incur from wrongful deaths, the state of California allows families to file a legal claim known as a wrongful death claim to recover monetary damages from negligent parties.
Families that successfully file wrongful death claims may collect compensation for numerous things. They may request compensation for actual damages they incurred from their loved one’s medical bills, funeral expenses and future lost income. Families may also request to be compensated for loss of companionship and may seek additional punitive damages.
