The loss of a loved one in a Wrongful Death accident

The death of a loved one is painful far beyond words. When the death of a loved one occurs as a result of negligence, it is considered a wrongful death and a legal claim can be brought against the negligent party or parties. First and foremost, if you have suffered the loss of a loved one due to wrongful death, the lawyers at The Hassell Law Group express our heartfelt, deepest sympathies and condolences. We will honor the life of your loved one by pursuing justice from all responsible parties and seek the maximum compensation possible. While no amount of money could ever make up for your grief, pain, and loss, a just and proper settlement and successful resolution of your claim may offer some sense of closure and justice. We understand your pain, grief, and deep suffering, and you should know that you are not alone, we will be here for you every step of the way.

Losing a loved one is traumatic and devastating. The emotional trauma can feel unbearable, and the financial burden can be difficult. If someone else’s negligence caused or contributed to the death of your loved one, you may be able to file a wrongful death claim. If your claim is against a private party or company, California law requires that a wrongful death claim be filed within two (2) years of a loved one’s death. If your claim involves a public entity such as a City, County, or State, you have only six (6) months under California law to prepare and file a formal notice of your claim. If they reject your claim, you have only six months from the rejection to file a lawsuit.

If an insurance company contacts you (yours or the other parties), do not speak to them, and instead refer them to your lawyer. What you say after an accident could damage your case. Refer all insurance company inquiries to your lawyer.

Who can file a Wrongful Death claim in California?

State laws primarily govern who can file a lawsuit after the wrongful death of a loved one. In California, surviving spouses, domestic partners, and children of the deceased may seek compensation in wrongful death cases. Parents or siblings may also be able to file suit.

How do I file a Wrongful Death Claim?

To bring a claim for wrongful death, you must obtain evidence that negligence either caused or contributed to the death. When reviewing a fatal accident case, the question which most frequently arises is; What Constitutes Wrongful Death in California?

Your team of wrongful death lawyers at The Hassell Law Group will handle obtaining police reports, coroner’s reports, securing all medical documents, thoroughly investigating the accident, and compiling substantial evidence to prove wrongful death on your behalf. We work with some of the foremost accident investigators and accident reconstruction experts in the field, along with other top nationally known experts to build a clear and compelling wrongful death case. Gathering evidence and witness accounts should be done as close to the time of the accident as possible. Legal counsel should be secured immediately.

How we seek to recover maximum compensation for the death of your family member

Multiple damages are available in a wrongful death claim in California. While specific award amounts vary based on the circumstances of each case, damages are primarily divided according to whether they compensate the deceased’s surviving family members for the losses they’ve suffered as a result of the death of the deceased’s estate for losses associated with the death.

We work together with a team of leading national accident reconstruction experts, accident investigators, actuaries, economists, and other highly skilled experts to build a clear and compelling case demonstrating that your loved one’s death was caused by negligence. Our team of attorneys can negotiate a favorable settlement to compensate for the loss of your loved one. We will litigate your case if a reasonable settlement cannot be reached.

In California, claimable Wrongful Death damages can include:

• Medical costs incurred after the accident up until the deceased’s death
• Funeral and all other burial expenses
• Loss of the deceased’s income
• Loss of financial support from the decedent
• Value of lost household contributions
• Loss of love, companionship, emotional support, and guidance
• Loss of consortium

When grieving and suffering from the loss of your loved one, insurance companies and negligent parties may reach out and try to settle your wrongful death claim for the smallest amount of money possible and hope that you will settle. You should not settle your claim until an experienced wrongful death lawyer has evaluated the value of your claim.
