What is a Wrongful Death Claim?
A wrongful death occurs when an individual, company or entities’ negligence or misconduct results in a death. Wrongful death may include a child killed because of negligent supervision, a bicyclist killed by a drunk driver or a patient killed because of medical negligence of a hospital. In most cases, a surviving spouse, child or parent will file a wrongful death lawsuit, which allows the surviving family members the opportunity to pursue compensation for the passing of their loved one. In California, the state sets specific time constraints on how long family members have to file a wrongful death claim. Every wrongful death claim is unique, so it is important that surviving family members seek the counsel of a Bayview district wrongful death attorney. Upon hearing the details surrounding a wrongful death case, our attorneys can determine the time constraints that apply and advise family members what legal action can be taken.
