Bringing a California Wrongful Death Claim

A wrongful death claim differs from a typical personal injury suit in that a wrongful death action is brought by the people who depended on the deceased for emotional and/or financial support. Thus, the purpose of a wrongful death suit is to compensate those individuals for the losses they have suffered and will suffer due to the untimely passing of the victim.

In California, a wrongful death suit can be brought by individuals related to the victim as a:

  • Child or financially dependent stepchild
  • Parent or sibling (in some cases)
  • Surviving spouse or domestic partner

To win a wrongful death suit, the plaintiff must prove that the defendant was either negligent, reckless, or intentional in causing some act that led to the death of the victim.

A wrongful death suit can arise anytime such an act occurs, but common underlying events include:

Wrongful Death Compensation

In a successful wrongful death suit in California, plaintiffs are entitled to a range of damages to compensate for their losses, including:

  • Funeral and burial costs
  • The loss of financial support from the victim
  • The loss of emotional support and consortium from the victim
  • The loss of the victim’s services in the household
  • The medical bills and pain and suffering of the victim prior to death
