Understanding Wrongful Death Claims in California

Wrongful death occurs when someone dies as a result of the negligence or intentional actions of another person or entity. If you have lost a loved one due to someone else's actions, you may have the right to file a wrongful death claim. In California, surviving family members such as spouses, children, and parents can pursue compensation for damages such as medical expenses, funeral costs, lost income, and emotional pain and suffering.

At Lowe Lazar Law, LLP, our San Diego wrongful death attorneys understand the complexities of these types of cases and are here to guide you through the legal process. We will work tirelessly to hold the responsible parties accountable and seek justice for your loved one.

Proving Wrongful Death in California

To prove a wrongful death claim in California, you must establish the following:

  • The death was caused by the negligence or intentional act of another person or entity
  • You are a surviving family member and have suffered damages as a result of the death
  • The responsible party had a duty to exercise reasonable care toward the deceased
  • The responsible party breached that duty, which caused the death

Our team has experience handling complex wrongful death cases and will work with you to gather evidence, build a strong case, and fight for your rights in court. We understand the emotional toll of losing a loved one and will provide compassionate support and guidance throughout the process.

Recovering Compensation in a Wrongful Death Case

Generally, the person or entity at fault for the death of another individual may be held accountable. Claims can be pursued against individuals, companies, or government agencies. 

Surviving family members may be entitled to seek damages through legal action. Those that can bring a claim include spouses, children, parents, and siblings. Also, any person who might have been financially dependent on the decedent may be entitled to take action. While several individuals might have been affected by the loss, only one claim can be filed, and if compensation is awarded, it may be distributed amongst survivors.

The damages surviving family members may be entitled to recover include, but are not limited to:

  • Burial expenses
  • Funeral costs
  • Medical care administered before death
  • Loss of the decedent’s contributions
  • Loss of consortium
