Do I Have Grounds for a Wrongful Death Claim in California?

The laws that govern liability in wrongful death cases are complicated and navigating the claims process requires a comprehensive understanding of the procedures involved. But in general, if the person who died would have had grounds to file a personal injury claim had he or she lived, surviving family members would have grounds for a wrongful death claim.

Like any other personal injury case, plaintiffs in wrongful death lawsuits must prove that the defendant owed the deceased a duty of care. They must also prove that the defendant breached that duty of care and that the breach contributed to the death. They must then show evidence to demonstrate the value of the economic and non-economic damages they have incurred.

Every step of the claims process is riddled with potential legal hurdles. For instance, even if it seems obvious who was liable for your loved one’s death, the insurance company might go to great lengths to dispute liability—for instance, by arguing that your loved one was partially or entirely at fault for the accident. Even if you are able to demonstrate liability, you will still have to prove the value of your damages. This, again, can involve a complicated legal dispute—especially if the economic damages are substantial and if you intend to pursue compensation for non-economic damages.

As your California wrongful death attorney, Alan Daneshrad will perform a meticulous investigation into your case to identify all potentially liable parties and gather the evidence required to prove liability and damages.

Although proving liability and damages are essential for every wrongful death claim, the evidence used can vary significantly from one case to the next, as can the strategies used during settlement negotiations and litigation. Backed by years of experience in California personal injury law, Alan Daneshrad knows how to tailor his approach to the specific complexities of your particular case. He can also arrange testimony from medical experts, financial experts, accident reconstruction experts, and other expert witnesses to prove liability and damages.

    See all FAQ

    How much is my personal injury case worth and will you guarantee success?

    The “value” of your case depends on many factors, such as the extent of your injury, the amount of your medical bills, and your condition after you have finished medical treatments. The calculation also factors in if you in any way contributed to or caused the incident. An attorney will never guarantee any outcome in your case; however, an experienced attorney can give you a fair assessment of the outcome of your case.

    How much does a personal injury attorney charge?

    Most personal injury attorneys work on a contingency basis. Therefore your attorney will only get paid if you get paid. If no recovery is obtained there is no out of pocket cost from you. Most law firms work on a percentage based fee. They usually obtain 33.33% of your final award. Contingency-based cases are very beneficial because they provide access to the courts for those who can’t otherwise afford to pay attorneys fees and the costs of litigation. It also reduces frivolous lawsuits because attorneys will only litigate cases they think they will likely win.

    What should I do if I'm unsatisfied with my current personal injury attorney?

    If you are unhappy with your current attorney for any reason you have the option of changing your attorney. Once you obtain a new attorney he/she can handle the process of substituting out the previous attorney. Generally, it is a very simple process to do and there is no cost to you. However, your current attorney will likely need to split a portion of your award with your prior attorney according to the amount of work he/she has contributed to your claim prior to being substituted.
