Understanding Wrongful Death Claims in California

A wrongful death claim arises when a person dies due to the wrongful, negligent, or intentional acts of another party. Under California law, surviving family members may pursue compensation for financial, emotional, and other losses resulting from the death.

California wrongful death claims are governed by California Code of Civil Procedure § 377.60, while a survival action may also apply under CCP § 337.30 to recover pre-death expenses such as medical costs and lost income.

Who Can File a Wrongful Death Claim?

Certain family members and dependents may file a wrongful death claim, including:

  • Spouses or domestic partners

  • Children or grandchildren (if the parent of the grandchild is deceased)

  • Intestate heirs, including parents or siblings if no other survivors exist

  • Legal guardians if the victim’s parents are deceased

  • Dependents such as stepchildren, children of a putative spouse, or parents

  • Minors residing in the victim’s household for at least 180 days prior to death and financially dependent

Claims are usually filed by a surviving family member or a personal representative acting on behalf of the estate.

Purpose of a Wrongful Death Claim

The primary goal of a wrongful death claim is to provide financial compensation for the loss of a loved one, including:

  • Support and contributions the deceased would have provided

  • Funeral and burial expenses

  • Loss of household services, care, and assistance

  • Loss of love, companionship, guidance, and moral support

  • Emotional pain and suffering

Claims may also include future economic losses, reduced to present value, based on evidence presented during the case.

Common Types of Wrongful Death Claims

Wrongful death claims can arise from a variety of situations, including:

  • Vehicle accidents, including car, truck, motorcycle, bicycle, and pedestrian collisions

  • Slip and fall accidents or falling objects

  • Defective products or consumer goods

  • Dangerous property conditions or premises liability

  • Poisoning or harmful chemical exposure

  • Animal attacks

  • Fires, explosions, or other accidents

  • Medical malpractice

  • Intentional acts such as assault, battery, or gun violence

The critical factor is determining why the death occurred and who is legally responsible.

How a Wrongful Death Lawyer Can Help

A California wrongful death lawyer can provide support and guidance in multiple ways:

  • Determining liability: Identify all parties responsible for the death, including negligent individuals, companies, or entities

  • Valuing the claim: Assess financial, emotional, and non-economic losses to determine fair compensation

  • Preparing legal documents: Draft and file claims, motions, and all necessary paperwork to comply with California law
