A wrongful death occurs when a person is killed due to the negligence or misconduct of another individual, company or entity. When a loved one is killed in an accident that could have been prevented, the pain and emotional upset can be unbearable. The party who negligently or intentionally causes the death of your family member must be held responsible for the devastation that they have caused.
Under California wrongful death statutes and laws, only the heirs and dependents of the deceased are authorized to seek damages for the wrongful death of the decedent. Generally speaking, any relative who would inherit under a state's probate code can file a wrongful death lawsuit. A husband or wife, son or daughter, father or mother or a registered domestic partner may be eligible for wrongful death damages.
Qualified survivors are entitled to recover damages for all of the detriment which is certain to result in the future. Such benefits include the value of future contributions, lost financial support, love, care, comfort, society, advice, training and guidance and/or personal service. Additionally, actions for personal injury with respect to the decedent can be brought based on the conscious pain and suffering, or expenses incurred prior to the decedent's death. The damage awards from these actions belong to the estate and may pass to different parties as directed by the decedent's will.
When a family member or domestic partner is killed through the negligence, fault or carelessness of others, survivors must analyze whether they have right of action against the wrongdoers. If you have lost a loved one in an accident only an experienced personal injury lawyer who has dealt with wrongful death should represent you.
