Damages in Los Angeles wrongful death cases include both the emotional toll and financial toll that families face after a loved one is lost too soon. Someone’s lack of responsibility or failure to behave reasonably can lead to irreversible loss for your family.
When these tragedies occur, a wrongful death claim is not just about seeking compensation. There is no legal action that can bring back your loved one, but filing a claim can help ensure those responsible are held accountable and that your family receives some compensation from the at-fault parties. It is a way for survivors to pursue justice on behalf of the deceased. Learn more about what damages you might expect from a wrongful death claim by reaching out to our team today.
Wrongful death is not just the result of a dramatic and/or intentional act. Many Los Angeles wrongful death claims come from everyday negligence, which can be simple mistakes and/or failures to act, leading to life-changing consequences and expensive damages. Whether the loss was caused by a distracted driver, a defective product, or a delayed diagnosis by a doctor, our team can thoroughly investigate to uncover what happened. We work to hold the responsible parties accountable and help your family gain clarity, closure, and the compensation they deserve.
Wrongful death cases in California allow surviving family members to recover both economic and non-economic damages. The role a loved one fills in your life is irreplaceable, and the compensation in such a lawsuit is designed to quantify the impact their loss has had on your life, both emotionally and financially.
Economic damages can include:
Non-economic damages can include:
State courts recognize that every family may be affected differently by a loss, providing the opportunity for your lawyer to present the particular impacts of your case. Not every wrongful death case involves every type of damage, but our attorney can help Los Angeles families understand how these various damages may relate to their claim and pursue a result that reflects their loss.
According to California Code of Civil Procedure § 335.1, survivors of the deceased have two years to file a claim from the date of their loved one’s death, but there may be shorter timelines depending on the circumstances. Claims against health care providers and/or government agencies generally have a shorter timeframe, often as little as six (6) months. Time is of the essence in a wrongful death case. The sooner you and your family can speak to our Los Angeles attorney and take action in your wrongful death case, the better your chances of not missing an important deadline to pursue justice and compensation.
Wrongful death cases are about much more than compensation. They are about pursuing justice for your loved one and the family he or she left behind.
