What Is a Wrongful Death Claim?

Wrongful death occurs when an individual loses their life due to another party’s negligence, recklessness, or intentional act. In California, wrongful death claims can be filed by surviving family members, such as spouses, children, or dependents, to seek compensation for the emotional and financial losses suffered.

Common Causes of Wrongful Death:

  • Car and truck accidents
  • Medical malpractice
  • Defective products
  • Workplace accidents
  • Dangerous premises
  • Violent crimes

Types of Compensation You Can Recover in a Wrongful Death Claim

Families who have lost a loved one can pursue compensation for both economic and non-economic damages, including:

  • Funeral and burial expenses
  • Loss of financial support: Compensation for the income the deceased would have contributed to the family
  • Loss of companionship: For the emotional toll of losing a loved one
  • Medical bills: Related to the accident or negligence before the death
  • Pain and suffering: Compensation for the emotional distress the family is experiencing

At Wise Law, we work tirelessly to ensure you receive the full compensation your family deserves. Contact us today for a free consultation to discuss your potential claim.

Who Can File a Wrongful Death Lawsuit?

In California, certain family members and dependents are eligible to file a wrongful death lawsuit, including:

  • Spouse or domestic partner
  • Children
  • Parents (if there is no spouse or children)
  • Other dependents such as stepchildren or individuals financially dependent on the deceased

Our attorneys will help determine if you are eligible to file a wrongful death claim and guide you through the process to ensure your rights are protected.

Steps to Take After a Wrongful Death

Losing a loved one can be overwhelming, but certain steps can protect your legal rights:

  1. Gather Documentation: Obtain medical records, accident reports, and any correspondence related to the death.
  2. Consult a Wrongful Death Attorney: A lawyer will help you understand your legal options and handle all communication with insurance companies and the responsible parties.
  3. File a Claim Before the Deadline: In California, you typically have two years from the date of death to file a wrongful death lawsuit.

At Wise Law, we handle every aspect of the legal process so you can focus on your family during this difficult time.

The Wrongful Death Claim Process

1. Investigation

We thoroughly investigate the circumstances surrounding your loved one’s death, including gathering evidence, speaking to witnesses, and consulting experts when necessary.

2. Filing the Claim

Once we've gathered sufficient evidence, we file a wrongful death lawsuit against the responsible parties.

3. Negotiation

Our attorneys will aggressively negotiate with the insurance companies and defense attorneys to ensure you receive fair compensation.

4. Trial (If Necessary)

While many wrongful death cases are settled out of court, we are prepared to take your case to trial if a fair settlement is not reached.

Our client, a 32-year-old man, was side swiped on the freeway by a semi-truck. He thankfully did not lose consciousness, but sustained a concussion that required extensive treatment with a neurologist. Despite his difficulties and the initial resistance from the insurance company, we were able to settle the case on the eve of trial for $6,300,000.

Our client, a 45-year-old man, was rear-ended at a stoplight by a distracted employed driver who was texting. The impact caused severe whiplash and a herniated disc in his lower back, which required extensive physical therapy and ultimately surgery to repair. Despite initial resistance from the insurance company, we were able to demonstrate the extent of his injuries and the negligence of the other driver through medical records and expert testimony. The case settled for $1,250,000, covering medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

A 60-year-old woman was shopping at a grocery store when she slipped on a wet floor near the produce section, which lacked proper signage warning of the hazard. She fell hard, breaking her hip, and required a hip replacement surgery followed by months of rehabilitation. The store initially denied liability, but we uncovered security footage showing that employees were aware of the spill and did not clean it up in a timely manner. We settled her case for $1 million, which included payment for her medical expenses, pain and suffering, and loss of enjoyment of life.

A 10-year-old boy was playing in his front yard when a neighbor’s dog, which had a history of aggression, escaped and bit him on the face. The attack resulted in severe facial lacerations that required plastic surgery and left permanent scars, along with significant emotional trauma. The dog’s owner initially refused to accept responsibility, but witness statements and the dog’s previous incidents of aggression helped build a strong case. The settlement amount was $1 million, compensating the boy for his medical expenses, pain and suffering, and future counseling needs.
