California Wrongful Death Laws
Wrongful death occurs when the party responsible for the death behaved with negligence or some other misconduct. In these cases, certain family members have a legal right to obtain damages. By bringing a wrongful death suit, you may be able to obtain compensation for:
Funeral expenses
Medical costs
Loss of future income
Loss of love, community, and affection
California’s statute of limitations maintains that these charges must be brought within two years of the death.
