What Can You Recover In A Wrongful Death Lawsuit?

you may be entitled to financial compensation for your loss.

A wrongful death claim arises when one person dies as a result of the negligence or wrongful act of another person. Surviving family members of the deceased may file a wrongful death claim in civil court and seeking economic and non-economic damages from the responsible party.

SERPALAW can help you pursue a wrongful death claim to recover compensation for funeral costs, lost wages, future financial support, medical expenses related to the accident, pain and suffering, and loss of companionship. In some wrongful death cases, punitive damages may also be awarded.

Should You File A Wrongful Death Lawsuit?

regardless of how you were hurt, serpalaw is ready to fight for you

A wrongful death lawsuit may be the last thing on your mind during your time of grieving. However, you should meet with a wrongful death attorney as soon as possible. In California, all wrongful death claims must be filed within two years after death. If a wrongful death lawsuit is not filed within those two years, you will lose the ability to seek financial compensation for your loss.

Only certain people can file a wrongful death claim, including:

  • Spouse or domestic partner
  • Children
  • Siblings
  • Parents
  • Step-children
  • Putative spouses
  • Parents financially dependent on their children

If you are suffering from the loss of a spouse, child or parent as a result of someone else’s negligence, SERPALAW can help you identify a path to financial recovery.
