Wrongful Death
Unfortunately, some accidents may result in the death of a loved one. In California, persons can bring a lawsuit for wrongful death as the result of someone else’s wrongful actions.
Per California Code of Civil Procedure Section 377.60, the following persons are permitted to bring a suit forward for wrongful death:
- Surviving spouses;
- Domestic partners;
- Children;
- Grandchildren; and
- Anyone else who would be entitled under California’s inheritance laws
A settlement or verdict may pay out damages for:
- Burial and funeral expenses;
- Income the deceased person would have earned;
- Pain and suffering and disfigurement of the decedent; and
- Compensation for the loss of the deceased’s companionship and support.
