Understanding Your Rights
What Is a Wrongful Death Claim?
A wrongful death claim is a civil lawsuit brought by surviving family members when a person's death is caused by the wrongful act, neglect, or default of another person or entity. It exists to hold the responsible party accountable and to provide financial security for the family left behind.
Holding the Responsible Accountable
When someone's negligence, recklessness, or intentional act causes a death, California law gives surviving family members the right to pursue justice through a wrongful death claim.
Strict Filing Deadlines Apply
Under California Code of Civil Procedure § 377, you generally have two years from the date of death to file. Medical malpractice claims may have shorter deadlines — don't wait.
Proving Liability & Damages
We build a meticulous case: accident reconstruction, expert testimony, medical records, financial loss documentation, and the full human story of your loved one.
Who Can File a Claim
Surviving spouses, domestic partners, children, and dependent family members. If none exist, other heirs or the estate representative may file under certain circumstances.
