Actions That May Warrant A Wrongful Death Lawsuit

Wrongful deaths can be the result of negligent or intentional acts. Examples include:

• Fatal injuries from dangerous and defective products
• A slip-and-fall on dangerous property
• Assault and battery
• Car accidents
• Truck accidents
• Bicycle and pedestrian accidents
• Motorcycle accidents

Each situation requires extensive investigation into the fault of the other party and how the fault contributed to the loss of the victim’s life.

Proving Liability For Wrongful Death

In California, there are four elements that plaintiffs need to prove to be successful in wrongful death litigation. They are:

• Showing that the defendant owed the victim of a duty of care (for drivers, a duty of care could be as simple as the duty to obey traffic laws)
• Demonstrating that the defendant violated their duty of care due to negligent behaviors or willful actions
• Showing that the defendant’s actions/violations caused the victim’s death
• Demonstrating that the victim’s family members suffered quantifiable losses connected to or resulting from their death (medical bills, funeral/burial expenses, loss of income, etc.)

It typically takes the help of a skilled attorney to prove all four elements in a manner that leaves no doubt of liability and opens the door to maximize plaintiff compensation.

How An Attorney Can Protect Your Family’s Financial Well-Being

Insurance companies on behalf of the responsible party can try to capitalize on your pain and sorrow by offering a quick and cut-rate settlement. These companies have no sympathy for your situation or the loss you have suffered. Losing a loved one can leave your family with medical bills, funeral expenses and the loss of financial support, which is why it is so important to be represented by a caring and experienced wrongful death attorney.
