Questions About Wrongful Death Cases
Who can bring a wrongful death case?
In most cases, a wrongful death claim is generally initiated by a close family member, such as the spouse, children, or domestic partner of the decedent. If there is no surviving person in the decedent’s line of descent, a lawsuit can be brought by a party who would have an entitlement to the decedent’s property through intestate succession.
What damages are available in a wrongful death claim?
Numerous personal injury damages are available for the immediate family members of a decedent in California. Losses that are associated with the estate include:
- Expenses from the burial/funeral
- Hospital/medical bills prior to his/her death
- Lost income that the deceased person could reasonably have expected to earn
Losses for the surviving family members may include:
- Value of household services
- Loss of expected monetary support
- Loss of affection, guidance, or community
What is comparative negligence?
In a case involving the principle of comparative negligence, liability is assessed based on fault. If the deceased person was comparatively negligent, the judgment may be reduced by the amount of his or her negligence.
