Wrongful Death

Legal Support for Families After a Preventable Loss

Wrongful death cases arise when a person dies because of another party’s wrongful act or negligence, such as a collision, unsafe premises, defective product, or dangerous condition. These claims seek financial recovery for family members who have suffered a profound and permanent loss. Hiring an attorney helps establish fault through investigation, records, and witness proof, while also protecting the family from insurer pressure during a difficult time. An attorney also calculates damages carefully so the claim reflects both economic loss and the loss of companionship and support.

Examples of wrongful death cases we handle:

• Fatal car, truck, motorcycle, and pedestrian collisions
• Fatal incidents tied to unsafe property conditions
• Deaths caused by defective products
• Elder neglect and care facility deaths
• Wildfire fatalities
• Fatal burn, fire, and explosion incidents

Compensation that may be available:

• Loss of financial support and benefits

• Loss of companionship and guidance
• Other damages available under California law
• Survival-related damages when applicable
