California Law
Who can file in California
California law allows certain family members, such as a spouse or domestic partner, children, and in some cases parents or others who were financially dependent on the deceased, to bring a wrongful death claim. Most claims must be filed within two years.

Whether through settlement or, if necessary, litigation, we stay by your side and keep you informed every step of the way.
Medical expenses
Emergency care, hospital stays, surgery, therapy, medication and future treatment.

Wages you missed while recovering and reduced ability to earn in the future.
Pain and suffering
Physical pain, emotional distress and the loss of enjoyment of daily life.

Every case is different. No attorney can guarantee a particular result.
Families may recover funeral and burial costs, the financial support the person would have provided, and the loss of love, companionship and guidance.
In most California wrongful death cases, the deadline is two years from the date of death, and claims involving government agencies can require notice within six months.
