The right to compensation for the families and children of persons killed by another's negligent act, as a result of a car crash, medical malpractice, plane crash, construction site injury, or other causes, is guaranteed by the legislatures in all 50 states.

The shock over the sudden death of an innocent loved one can be both emotionally and financially debilitating. Our attorneys help survivors of wrongful death victims pursue their legal right to financial compensation for the loss of their loved one.

The monetary recoveries assure the ability of a wife, husband, children and other family members to reestablish their sense of financial security and focus on coping with the resultant grief and inevitable change going on in their lives.

It is important that the surviving spouse and/or dependents see a wrongful death attorney as soon as possible after a death to determine their legal rights in their particular state and also to determine how loss of damages are to be recovered. Most wrongful death claims handled by our firm are related to automobile and truck crashes. We also handle on-the-job death cases. In that instance, dependants must make a claim under the controlling workers' compensation law. If the on-the-job death was caused by a non-employee (third party), the family may also pursue a negligence claim against that third person. This is known as a "third-party claim" and some special rules apply.

A wrongful death claim may be brought in any case where the decedent (deceased individual) could have brought a lawsuit for damages for injuries caused by that negligence, including medical malpractice and products liability cases. Damages for death in California are awarded for the pecuniary, or monetary, value of the decedent's life. Recent case law allows damages for the loss of companionship, love and affection.

If you have suffered the loss of a spouse or child, you should consult a wrongful death attorney specializing in wrongful death cases as soon as possible. Early investigation and evidence collection is extremely important. It is also very important that statements be taken from the witnesses as soon as possible to preserve their testimony. Proving wrongful death damages requires an experienced attorney to maximize recovery for the family of any person killed by another's negligence or fault. We employ experts at achieving justice for wrongful death victims and financial compensation for their survivors. There is no substitute for experience in this important area of civil litigation. We have this experience and our goal is to obtain a fair recovery for you and your family.
