Common Questions
Wrongful Death FAQ
A wrongful death claim allows surviving family members to pursue compensation when a loved one dies as a result of another party's negligence or wrongful act. These claims can arise from car accidents, medical malpractice, defective products, workplace accidents, and many other situations.
In California, a wrongful death claim is typically filed by the surviving spouse, domestic partner, children, or other individuals who would be entitled to the deceased person's property through intestate succession. In some cases, a personal representative of the estate may bring the claim on behalf of these individuals.
Families may recover compensation for funeral and burial expenses, medical and healthcare expenses, lost financial support and benefits, loss of household services the deceased provided, and loss of companionship, guidance, and emotional support.
