Wrongful Death Liability Lawyer

When someone’s life is cut short due to another’s negligence, the impact on surviving family members is immeasurable. California law allows certain relatives to seek justice through a wrongful death claim.

At Abronson Law Offices, we help grieving families hold the responsible parties accountable and recover compensation that can provide financial stability in a time of heartbreak. Our legal team handles every aspect of the process so you can focus on healing while we focus on protecting your future.

There are strict legal timeframes to file a claim in California. For most incidents, you have two years from the date of the incident but when a non-federal government agency is involved, that window could be as short as six months. Don’t wait and risk your recovery. Contact our legal team today for a free consultation.

Wrongful Death Cases Matter

According to the California Department of Public Health, more than 17,000 accidental deaths occurred in the state in 2022 alone, with motor vehicle collisions, workplace injuries, and falls ranking among the top causes. When these deaths happen due to someone else’s negligence, whether it’s a reckless driver, defective product, or unsafe property, the law allows survivors to pursue compensation.

What Compensation Can I Recover?

California law permits the following categories of compensation in wrongful death cases:

Economic Damages
   · Financial support the decedent would have contributed during their expected lifetime.
   · Loss of gifts or benefits the heirs would have received.
   · Funeral and burial expenses.
   · Reasonable value of household services the decedent would have provided.

Non-Economic Damages
   · Loss of the decedent’s love, companionship, comfort, care, assistance, protection, affection, society, and moral support.
   · Loss of training and guidance.

If the Decedent was a Child
   · The value of the child’s services and financial contributions the parents could have expected.
   · The loss of companionship, comfort, care, and society from the child.

We work with medical experts, financial analysts, and crash investigators to build a strong case and address all the impacts this incident has had on your life. Our goal is to make sure your compensation reflects the true cost of how any incident has affected your life, not just what the insurance company is willing to pay.
