California law allows surviving family members or a decedent’s estate to bring a lawsuit when a person dies as a result of someone else’s wrongful act. In California, a wrongful death lawsuit is usually brought by the decedent’s family members or the decedent’s estate. Wrongful death claims are usually brought by:
The spouse of the surviving spouse of the decedent
The parents of the decedent
Other heirs of the decedent
In order to prove a wrongful death case, you must prove that there was a death that was caused by another person’s negligence. This process is often a very complicated one and will require legal expertise and knowledge. Consulting with a licensed attorney is the best way to make sure that your case is handled with care. Additionally, an attorney will be able to ensure that you recover the maximum amount of damages.
