The term "wrongful death" includes the claims of husbands, wives, children, parents, brothers, sisters and financially dependent children [whether or not formally adopted] when negligence, reckless or intentional misconduct has caused the death of a family member. Wrongful death claims include every type of accidental death, no matter the specific cause.
All states authorize surviving family members to be compensated for both economic and non-economic losses, including loss of financial support, love, care, comfort, supervision, guidance, household assistance and general society. Some states also allow surviving family members to be compensated for their personal grief and suffering. Who is entitled to sue and the damages that can be sought vary from state to state and are controlled by written statutes.
If you have lost a loved one, you need to talk to an attorney right away to protect your legal rights. Our California lawyers have an extensive record in wrongful death cases, and will be glad to speak with you.
If someone close to you has died as the result of the negligence of another, contact Richard Alexander immediately to protect your rights. Delays can harm your case.
