While nothing can bring back your loved one, a wrongful death lawsuit can help you seek justice and recover damages related to his or her passing. However, the legal process can be complicated. While you are dealing with grief, it is easy to make mistakes and lose the opportunity to receive full compensation.
An experienced wrongful death attorney can help you understand the Los Angeles wrongful death case process, protect your rights, and maximize your financial recovery. With our skilled legal team by your side, you can focus on your healing while a lawyer eases your burdens and handles your case for you.
Even if the cause of your loved one’s death may appear straightforward, it is still up to you and a good lawyer to prove your case. Our legal team can help you compile and present the relevant evidence to demonstrate exactly how someone’s actions caused your loved one’s death. Some examples include:
A Los Angeles lawyer can initiate your case to begin formally gathering and preserving evidence, to satisfy each step in your wrongful death case.
During a wrongful death case in Los Angeles, you must prove, under California or federal law, that the actions of the at-fault party constituted negligence. Some examples may include drivers who made reckless decisions, doctors who failed to provide proper care, or companies that did not keep their premises safe.
Our legal team can use the legal process and the collection of evidence to prove the four essential elements of negligence.
Through the process of successfully proving these elements, your Los Angeles lawyer can hold the at-fault parties responsible and obtain financial compensation on your behalf in a wrongful death case
When suing organizations or institutions (or the employees of such organizations or institutions), insurance is often involved. If the at-fault party has insurance, your lawyer can help you negotiate for a settlement. Negotiating with insurance companies without legal representation can be risky. The insurance company may try to minimize your loss or pressure you into accepting a quick (and low) settlement. Without legal representation, families often settle for far less than they are entitled to.
An experienced wrongful death attorney in LA who is familiar with the case process can push back against low offers and fight for full compensation on your behalf. If the insurance company fails to offer a fair amount during your case, your legal team can take your case to trial.
In California, you often only have two years from the death of your loved one to file a lawsuit—or even less. In some cases, like those involving governmental institutions, there may be a statute of limitations as short as six (6) months. Do not delay the legal process, as it may harm your chances of receiving compensation.
If you lost a loved one because someone acted negligently, you should take action expeditiously to seek justice on their behalf. However, navigating the Los Angeles wrongful death case process requires extensive legal knowledge.
