Compassionate and Experienced Representation
Losing a loved one is a heart-wrenching experience, and when that loss is due to someone else’s negligence or wrongdoing, the pain can be even more unbearable. At California Wrongful Death Lawyers, we understand the emotional and financial toll that a wrongful death can take on a family. Our dedicated team of wrongful death lawyers in Los Angeles is here to provide you with compassionate support and expert legal representation.
Understanding Wrongful Death Claims
A wrongful death claim arises when a person dies due to the legal fault of another individual or entity. This could be the result of negligence, recklessness, or intentional misconduct. Common scenarios leading to wrongful death claims include:
- Car Accidents: Fatalities caused by reckless or negligent drivers.
- Medical Malpractice: Deaths resulting from medical errors or negligence.
- Workplace Accidents: Fatal injuries occurring in the workplace due to unsafe conditions or employer negligence.
- Defective Products: Deaths caused by dangerous or defective products.
- Criminal Acts: Homicides or deaths resulting from criminal actions.
In California, the deceased’s surviving family members have the right to file a wrongful death lawsuit to seek compensation for their loss. These family members typically include spouses, children, and sometimes parents or other dependents.

- Funeral and Burial Expenses: Costs associated with laying your loved one to rest.
- Medical Bills: Expenses incurred for medical treatment prior to death.
- Lost Income: Compensation for the loss of the deceased’s financial support.
