When a loved one passes away unexpectedly, it undoubtedly sends your world spinning out of control. While grieving the loss of someone close to you is a sensitive and personal process, you may be wondering, “Where do I go from here?” Fortunately, you don’t have to navigate the legal field alone. With the oversight that a trusted wrongful death lawyer can provide, you will be able to pursue a viable case while also retaining the time and space needed to process your loss.
In California, wrongful death occurs when an individual is killed due to another party’s negligent, reckless, or intentional behaviors. Following the incident, an experienced personal injury lawyer will look over the details of the situation to determine the best course of action to move forward with.
Eligible survivors, such as spouses, children, and dependents, can file a lawsuit seeking compensation for the loss of their loved one. This includes financial support and emotional suffering. Filing a personal injury claim is a complex and time-consuming legal endeavor. That’s why you should seek the counsel of a qualified professional in order to ensure your success.
Wrongful death claims in California must be filed within two years from the date of the deceased person’s death. If the wrongful death was a result of medical malpractice, different time limits and rules may apply due to the intricacies of the medical system.
First Law Group approaches each and every wrongful death claim we handle with empathy, diligence, and a commitment to justice. From start to finish, our thoughtful legal team will walk you through the legal process to ensure you are advocated for – and that the death of your loved one is held accountable.
Every personal injury claim we manage begins with a free, confidential consultation. Here, we listen to your story, understand the circumstances leading to your loved one’s death, and assess the viability of your case. This meeting enables us to gather preliminary information and explain the details of the legal process in clear and concise terms.
Once we take your case, our team will thoroughly investigate the incident. We collect evidence such as medical records, witness statements, and accident reports. We also work with experts in forensic analysis and accident reconstruction to build you a strong and practical claim.
Based on the evidence we obtain, we will develop a legal strategy tailored to your unique circumstances. Our goals are to help you and your loved ones recover losses such as funeral expenses, lost income, and emotional suffering.
The primary goal of a wrongful death claim is to hold responsible parties accountable and secure maximum compensation for your loss. Drawing from years of experience, our team will expertly negotiate with the responsible party’s insurance company or legal representatives to reach a fair settlement that meets your needs. If a satisfactory settlement cannot be agreed upon, we are prepared to take your case to court and fight for a favorable outcome.

The most common causes of wrongful death in California include medical malpractice, car accidents, workplace accidents, defective products, and criminal actions such as assault or homicide. These cases usually result from negligence, recklessness, or intentional harm – leading to the untimely death of a loved one and giving rise to a viable wrongful death claim.
Various factors impact the value of a wrongful death claim. These include the deceased’s age, earning capacity, and life expectancy. A successful claim strives to cover economic damages such as medical and funeral expenses and lost wages. It also may seek restitution for loss of companionship, emotional suffering, and pain and suffering. The courts may also consider the defendant's role in the family and the impact their death had on surviving relatives.
If the defendant’s actions are considered especially egregious or malicious, family members may sue for punitive damages in California. These damages are meant to punish the accused and deter similar behavior from other individuals. However, they are not always awarded, as they require clear and convincing evidence demonstrating the defendant’s intentional misconduct or gross negligence.
If you or a loved one has suffered injuries due to another party's negligence, it is crucial to seek assistance from an experienced personal injury lawyer as soon as possible. Our dedicated attorneys at First Law Group will carefully review your case, discuss your available legal options, and guide you in determining the most appropriate course of action to safeguard your rights and obtain the compensation you deserve.
