Stockton Attorneys represent families of Wrongful Death victims

Under California law, an immediate family member such as a spouse, child or parent, may bring a civil action suit against the negligent and responsible parties who caused the death of your loved one.  While financial compensation is not going to bring your loved one back to you, it is important that those responsible are held accountable and that your grief may be eased somewhat.  Although your grief is not going to be alleviated by compensation, this can help ensure that your family remains financially stable and does not have to be further victimized by the events caused by the negligent party.

When you have lost a loved one, unfortunately, you are not only dealing with the emotional effects of the death, but also with the financial hardships the death has caused.  There are medical bills, funeral expenses, not to mention the possibility of lost income if the deceased was a contributing money earner of the family.  In the State of California, if it can be proven that the death was caused by the negligence of other people, family members may then file a wrongful death claim in order to recover compensation from the negligent parties.

If the claim is successful, family members could receive compensation for the medical bills, burial expenses and lost earned income of the deceased.  If the proof is there, families may also request punitive damages for the loss of companionship, pain and suffering.
