California Wrongful Death Laws

In California, claims for wrongful death are controlled by certain laws intended to provide compensation to the surviving family members or estates of people who have passed away due to the carelessness or wrongdoing of another person. These statutes define who can bring a wrongful death claim, usually encompassing spouses, dependents, and other members of the immediate family. Because of our experience negotiating these laws, we can effectively defend your interests and fight for the rights and dignity of your loved one and your family.

Types of Wrongful Death Claims

Several situations, including but not limited to: medical negligence, vehicle and transit accidents, workplace accidents, defective products, and criminal conduct, can result in claims for wrongful death.

Every kind of claim is unique and necessitates a sophisticated comprehension of the relevant rules and laws. Razi Law Group, one of the top wrongful death law offices, has the expertise and understanding required to manage any wrongful death claim, no matter where it originated.

What Is California’s Wrongful Death Statute of Limitations?

Most wrongful death lawsuits in California have a statute of limitations of two years from the day the death happened. This implies that for a legal action to be deemed legitimate, it must be started inside this window of time. Nevertheless, depending on each case’s particulars, some exclusions may limit or prolong this time frame. It is essential to speak with a wrongful death law firm like ours as soon as possible to make sure your claim is submitted correctly and on time, protecting your right to compensation.

What Types of Damages Can You Recover for Wrongful Death Lawsuits?

In a wrongful death litigation, the following kinds of damages may be recovered: 

  • Burial and funeral costs,
  • lost earnings as well as the deceased’s prospective earnings,
  • Loss of affection, support, and camaraderie
  • costs for medical care received before death,
  • punitive damages in situations of extreme carelessness.

As your wrongful death lawyer, we aim to obtain complete compensation that reasonably represents the extent of your loss. We work hard to precisely calculate these damages and make a strong argument on your behalf.

Wrongful Death FAQ

In California, who is eligible to file a wrongful death claim?

According to California law, certain surviving family members of the deceased are entitled to bring a wrongful death lawsuit. This usually includes the deceased person’s children, domestic partner, and surviving spouse. If these relatives do not exist, parents or siblings who would otherwise be entitled to the decedent’s inheritance through intestate succession may make the claim. It might be challenging to determine who is qualified to file, but as your wrongful death attorneys, we help you navigate these legal nuances and ensure the correct people file the claim.

What Is The Difference Between A Wrongful Death Claim And A Survival Claim?

A wrongful death claim looks for financial compensation for the bereaved parties, including burial costs, lost earnings in the future, and loss of companionship. On the other hand, a survival claim is made for the losses the departed could have gotten if they had lived on behalf of their estate. This could include payment for pre-death medical costs as well as anguish and suffering experienced by the deceased. As skilled California wrongful death attorneys, we can manage both kinds of claims with ease and maximize the settlement given to the departed person’s family and estate.

How Long Do I Have To File A Wrongful Death Lawsuit?

The statute of limitations in California for bringing a wrongful death claim usually is two years from the date of the person’s death. However, depending on the details of each case, such as if a government agency was responsible for the death, exceptions may lengthen or reduce this time frame. As time is of the essence, you must speak with a wrongful death law firm like Razi Law Group as soon as possible to make sure your claim is submitted within the allotted legal window.
