What is considered a wrongful death?
A wrongful death occurs when a person dies due to the negligence, recklessness, or intentional misconduct of another party. Common causes include car accidents, workplace accidents, medical malpractice, defective products, or criminal acts.
Who can file a wrongful death claim in California?
Under California law, the deceased’s surviving spouse, domestic partner, children, or other dependents may file a wrongful death lawsuit. In some cases, parents or siblings may also be eligible if no closer relatives exist.
What damages can be recovered in a wrongful death lawsuit?
Survivors may recover compensation for:
- Funeral and burial expenses
- Loss of financial support the deceased would have provided
- Medical bills related to the final injury or illness
- Loss of companionship, care, and guidance
- Emotional pain and suffering
How long do I have to file a wrongful death claim in California?
Generally, the statute of limitations is two years from the date of death. However, exceptions may apply (such as medical malpractice cases or claims against government entities). Speaking with an attorney quickly ensures your claim is filed on time.
Do wrongful death cases always go to trial?
Not necessarily. Many wrongful death cases are resolved through negotiated settlements with insurance companies or defendants. However, if a fair settlement cannot be reached, your attorney will pursue the case in court to fight for full compensation.
How is a wrongful death claim different from a criminal case?
A wrongful death lawsuit is a civil claim seeking financial compensation for surviving family members. A criminal case, on the other hand, is brought by the state to punish the defendant with jail or prison time. These cases can proceed separately or at the same time.
