How California Wrongful Death Claims Work
When negligence takes a life, California law lets your family seek accountability and stability. Here is what that involves:
Who Can File
California law (Code of Civil Procedure Section 377.60) generally allows a surviving spouse or domestic partner, children, and certain other dependents to bring a claim. We help your family determine who has the right to file.
The Filing Deadline
Most California wrongful death claims must be filed within two years of the death, and as little as six months when a government entity is involved. Acting early protects your claim.
Damages for Your Family
Compensation can include the financial support your loved one would have provided, funeral and burial expenses, and the loss of their love, companionship, and guidance.
Survival Claims
A separate survival action can recover losses your loved one suffered before death, such as medical bills and pre-death damages. We pursue both claims together.
Fatal Accidents We Handle
Fatal car, truck, motorcycle, pedestrian, and bicycle crashes, dangerous property conditions, and other acts of negligence that take a life.
Proving What Happened
With John Reardon's medical background, we document exactly how and why the death occurred, building the evidence that holds the responsible party accountable.
