Proving Wrongful Death in California

A wrongful death case is a personal injury case that results in a fatality. Fault can be proven with any of several legal standards, including:

  • Negligence
  • Recklessness
  • Intentional harm

Many types of cases can be wrongful death cases. A car accident that results in a fatality is a wrongful death case, for example. Other common types of cases are slips and falls, other premises liability, medical malpractice and defective products. Most claims are based on negligence or a lack of reasonable care and caution that created an unreasonable risk of harm.

To prove your case, we identify the wrongful conduct of those responsible. We demonstrate how it resulted in the victim’s death. Then, we show the compensation that is appropriate under California law.

Compensation for wrongful death

The death of a family member is often a tremendous and life-changing loss. Family members are suffering from the loss of love, protection, support, teaching and guidance, just to name a few of the many ways that family members support each other.

The compensation paid in a wrongful death case depends on the economic and non-economic support that beneficiaries would have received from the victim if they had lived. The life expectancy of the deceased person and the plaintiff are both factors and any personal characteristics like health.

As San Bernardino wrongful death lawyers, we are determined to see you fully compensated for the tremendous suffering that you have endured. We work to claim economic and non-economic damages including financial support, funeral and burial expenses and the great personal suffering that results from wrongful death.

What is the wrongful death law for San Bernardino?

California Code of Civil Procedure §§ 377.60 – 377.62 is the wrongful death law that applies in San Bernardino. The law states who may assert a claim, damages, distribution of damages and the possibility of joining the action with a survival action.

What is the cap on wrongful death damages in California?

Wrongful death claims in California don’t have a cap on damages for most types of cases. In medical malpractice cases, non-economic damages are limited. There are no economic damages caps for any kind of wrongful death case.

What is the one-action rule for wrongful death in California?

How is wrongful death compensation divided in California?

Dividing wrongful death compensation may be at the discretion of family members. They may agree on a distribution that they think is fair. However, this can be a complicated question when family members are grieving. The court may distribute the settlement among family members if they are not able to reach an agreement.

A structured settlement is a way to manage wrongful death funds to provide for the beneficiary long term. Our lawyers can discuss your options and whether this type of financial arrangement is right for you.

Insurance company was against me, this law firm got the best of my lawsuit. I highly recommend L A Century, my attorney for life. Thank you Ryan and Marco, you are the best.

Marchelle Y

Attorney Daneshrad is very professional and courteous. I called him after being involved in a rear ender. I didn’t know anything about anything when it came to the process for making a claim after a car accident. Everyone at his office including Jennifer did everything in their power to make sure I was taken care of.

They made doctors appointments and regularly called to check-in on me. We ended up having to file a lawsuit. Three months after we did, attorney Daneshrad called me with great news! We had a settlement offer. It was for a lot more than I could have imagined. It has been three weeks since the settlement and he still calls me to check in on my injuries. You can tell he really cares about. He isn’t just about the numbers. Thank you attorney daneshrad! And happy holidays!
