Los Angeles Wrongful Death Attorneys

Southern California Wrongful Death Lawyers

Wrongful death is a civil suit concerning the death of a person that was caused due to another’s negligence, recklessness, or intent to harm. Because civil courts only require a preponderance (majority) of evidence against the defendant, it is a good route for family members seeking retribution for the death of a loved one. The same case in criminal court would require the guilt of the defendant to be proven beyond a reasonable doubt.

Our attorneys are committed to helping Southern California residents bring wrongful death suits against those who are responsible for their loss. In this emotionally trying time, the last thing you need to worry about is finances: medical expenses, funeral costs, or future living expenses. By suing the responsible party in civil court, our lawyers can help you get monetary compensation for wage loss, medical expenses, pain and suffering, and more. 

Wrongful Death in California

California courts see most wrongful death suits brought about by the spouse, children or parents of the deceased – who act as personal representatives of the decedent’s estate. By attaining the representation of one of our skilled attorneys, you experience an innovative and aggressive defense that greatly increases your chances of a ruling in your favor.

Wrongful death can be caused by one of many accidents or actions:

• Auto accidents
• Airplane accidents
• Falls, or slip and falls
• Poisoning
• Choking
• Fires
• Violence; criminal activity

Due to one person’s careless attitude or misconduct, a life can be taken without warning. Sometimes this can be the fault of someone you trusted, such as a doctor who performs a surgery incorrectly or a school bus driver who drives while intoxicated. Either way, it is the job of our attorneys to prove the fault of the responsible party and to bring them to justice.
