Seeking Compensation and Justice in a Wrongful Death Car Accident Case
When a family is deprived of a close relative due to an auto accident caused by a negligent motorist or entity, the lives of surviving family members change. Survivors are often left behind to pick up the pieces and fill the void left by a close relative’s unexpected passing, in addition to unexpected expenses. Fortunately, surviving family members may have grounds for a claim for damages against the party or entity who caused the fatal incident. While no amount of money can undo the tragedy, it may help provide survivors with the justice and sense of closure needed to move forward.
Wrongful death cases are subject to a deadline of two years, per CCP 335.1. Not everyone can file a case for wrongful death in California. Relatives who have priority for filing include the child or children, domestic partner, and spouse of the deceased. If these relationships with the decedent do not exist, relatives who were financially dependent on the deceased may be entitled to financial compensation for their loss. Eligible claimants may seek reimbursement for loss of companionship, mental anguish, funeral costs, loss of earnings, medical bills (via survival action), and more.
If you have lost someone you love in a traffic collision due to another motorist’s negligence, you may find yourself going through the most trying time of your life. During your time of grief and loss, you need the services of a skilled California accident attorney.
