Wrongful Death

Los Angeles Wrongful Death Attorney
Families who suffer through the loss of a loved one face a great deal of confusion and uncertainty.  This is particularly true in cases of wrongful death.  Wrongful death is legally defined as the wrongful killing of another person as a result of negligence or wrongful conduct.   

The last thing a family should have to worry about after losing a loved one due to wrongful death is their financial security, paying their loved one’s medical bills, and covering funeral expenses.  However, many families, especially those who have lost their primary provider, must take these things into consideration.  Thankfully, California law protects families by allowing them to file a wrongful death claim

Wrongful Death Claim
A wrongful death claim is a lawsuit brought against the negligent party that caused the decedent’s death.   Typically, any family member that is over the age of 18 may file a wrongful death claim.  This includes spouses, children, parents, and other close relatives.   A wrongful death claim allows families and individuals to recover damages from the negligent party for things such as the decedent’s medical costs, funeral expenses, and lost income.  Additionally, a family may seek monetary compensation for lost emotional support, lost quality of life, and emotional pain and suffering.

Before a family or individual decides to file a wrongful death claim, it is always advisable that they retain the services of a skilled wrongful death attorney.  A wrongful death lawyer can assist the family by evaluating their case, informing them of their legal options, protecting their rights, and possibly negotiating settlements with the negligent party and the negligent party’s attorney.
