What is a Wrongful Death Action?
To add to the bereavement, shock, and depression that you and your family are likely experiencing, you may also be faced with a mounting pile of medical bills and expenses, depending on the circumstances surrounding the injury. If your loved one was the main wage earner and he or she left behind a spouse, children or other dependent family members, they may wonder how they will survive without the income to which they had been accustomed. That is where seeking compensation for wrongful death can help.
If you seek legal counsel from a California wrongful death attorney and he or she determines that you have a claim, you may be eligible to recover damages for loss of benefits, expected earnings, inheritance, consortium, companionship, and guidance. You may also be eligible to seek compensation for damages for you and your family’s mental anguish, pain and suffering and burial, funeral or medical expenses that are tied to the death.
A California wrongful death attorney can help guide you through the complex legal matters involved in a wrongful death case so that you and your family have sufficient time to grieve.
