Wrongful Death

Wrongful Death

We're Here For Your Loved Ones

Wrongful death cases are traumatizing and not something you want to deal with. These cases can be straining and difficult to manage on your own. With lots of paperwork and deadlines for your claim, letting a personal injury attorney in Northern California handle your case can help take away some of the stress you’re experiencing and grieve in your own way.

Wrongful death can occur in many ways, including:

  • Medical malpractice
  • Auto, truck, or motorcycle accident
  • Bicycle, pedestrian, or public transit vehicle accident
  • Toxic substances
  • Murder
  • Defective or unsafe products
  • Illnesses contracted at a workplace

Apart from a wrongful death claim, there is also survivorship claims. Wrongful death claims offer compensation for losses incurred following the death of another person. In contrast, survivorship claims compensate the deceased’s estate for the expenses or losses incurred by the deceased before they passed away following the wrongful or negligent conduct that led to their demise.

Damages For Your Loved One

Damages, also called compensation, may be awarded if your case is successful. Damages can help pay for medical bills or funeral expenses, as well as any financial burden that may have come upon the family since the decedent’s death. This situation is never one that anyone wants to have happen to their family, but if you’re dealing with such a case, please consult with a personal injury attorney. A trusted and experienced attorney can help you to be compensated and satisfied with the results of your case.
