Wrongful death refers to a situation where a person’s death is caused by the negligence, misconduct, or intentional act of another party. This could include cases such as medical malpractice, accidents caused by negligence, dangerous products, or criminal actions.
Below are some elements to be considered in pursuing a wrongful death case:
In California, certain individuals or entities are typically eligible to file a wrongful death lawsuit. These include the surviving spouse, domestic partner, children, and certain other dependents. If there is no surviving person in these categories, other individuals may be entitled to file a claim.
To pursue a successful wrongful death case, you will need to establish that the other party’s negligence, recklessness, or intentional actions caused the death. This typically involves gathering evidence, witness statements, medical records, and expert opinions to support your claim.
If liability is established, the court may award damages in a wrongful death case. Damages can include financial losses such as medical expenses, funeral costs, loss of income, as well as non-economic damages such as loss of companionship, emotional distress, and pain and suffering.
Generally, a claim must be filed within two years from the date of death. However, there are exceptions and circumstances that can impact this time limit.
Every case is unique. It is crucial to consult with an experienced wrongful death attorney in California to assess the details and determine the best course of action based on the applicable laws.
In California, the damages that can be recovered in a wrongful death claim are governed by state laws. The following are the types of damages that may be available in wrongful death cases:

Our clients’ success stories reflect our dedication to helping dog bite victims. Here’s what some of them have to say:
In California, a wrongful death is a legal concept that arises when a person’s death is caused by the negligence, recklessness, or intentional misconduct of another party. Wrongful death claims allow certain surviving family members or beneficiaries to seek compensation for the losses they have suffered as a result of the death.
There is no fixed or specific limit on the amount of compensation that can be awarded in a wrongful death case in California. The amount you can sue for can vary widely based on several factors, including the circumstances of the case, the financial losses suffered by surviving family members, and the available evidence.
The one-action rule states that a plaintiff (the person bringing the lawsuit) must bring all claims arising from a single incident in a single lawsuit. Designed to promote efficiency in the legal process, this rule essentially doesn’t allow a plaintiff to file separate lawsuits for personal injury and wrongful death if both claims arise from the same underlying incident. Instead, they are required to bring both claims together in a single lawsuit.
