California Wrongful Death – An Overview

A wrongful death is a death due to someone else's carelessness or negligence. Every state has a civil wrongful death statute or set of statutes, which establish the procedures for bringing wrongful death actions. In most states, the decedent's immediate family members (surviving spouses and children, and sometimes parents or siblings) may bring action. Wrongful death claims may arise out of car accidents, truck accidents, motorcycle accidents, medical malpractice, property negligence, and other incidents of negligence.

In the unfortunate cases of wrongful death, it is usually up to the victim's family to initiate a lawsuit. However, in the midst of the pain suffered during a loss, it is often too exhausting and emotionally trying for families to focus on their legal rights. The California wrongful death attorneys of The Gomez Law Firm are sensitive to your concerns and will work with you to establish the right case for your situation.

Our attorneys will investigate the circumstances of the wrongful death. We will determine all the responsible parties, whether the fatality was caused by a defective product, a car or truck accident, or a boating accident. Our attorneys will also work with financial experts to establish the full amount of the damages you have suffered.
 
In wrongful death cases, the bereaved often recoup the following:

• Funeral expenses
• Medical expenses
• Lost wages (from time of injury to death)
• Loss of earning potential
• Loss of companionship and services (in the case of certain family members)
• Pain and suffering
• Other out-of-pocket expenses

Our cases are handled by a team of professionals, including nurses, doctors, engineers and other experts. State-of-the-art technology is also utilized to effectively present claims.
