What Is Wrongful Death?

Wrongful death occurs when someone dies due to another person’s misconduct, negligence, omission, intentional act, or legal fault. California law allows the deceased family members to file a wrongful death claim seeking financial damages from the at-fault party. You can get compensation for lost companionship, burial, and funeral expenses. A wrongful death suit offers financial relief to those who depended on the deceased for emotional and financial support. 

Certain laws apply when filing a wrongful death lawsuit. You must first establish that wrongful death occurred by proving the individual had a duty of care to the deceased and their careless actions breached that duty of care. Your lawyer must also show that the individual’s wrongful actions contributed partially or directly to the injury/death of the deceased and the damages caused.

Wrongful death claims involve different parties, including companies, government agencies or individuals. It also consists of a range of fatal accidents such as:

  • Medical malpractice
  • Motor vehicle accidents, including trucks, motorcycles, and cars
  • Workplace accidents
  • Birth injuries
  • Defective products and machinery
  • Gas explosions
  • Slip-and-fall accidents
  • Dog bites

If you believe the death of your loved one could have been prevented, speak to our Santa Clarita wrongful death lawyers at Kash Legal. We will review the circumstances of the accident and determine the liable party.
