Losing a loved one due to someone else’s negligence or wrongful actions is devastating. Beyond grief, survivors often face financial strain and uncertainty about their legal rights.

As a solo practice, every case is handled directly by the attorney, ensuring personalized guidance, ethical advocacy, and strategic attention to detail.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
Negotiating settlements: Advocate for fair compensation through careful negotiation with insurers or opposing parties
Trial representation: If necessary, present a compelling case in court to pursue justice
Ongoing support: Provide guidance, answer questions, and help survivors understand their legal options
