Compensation in a Wrongful Death Claim in the Bay Area

Every family has rights and protections under the law. Holding the at-fault party or company responsible for their negligence is an important step in the right direction. Not only may it help you find closure after your tragic loss, but it may also award you compensation for the losses and expenses that come after the accident. 

Many families are left with heavy financial burdens and a severe economic disadvantage—a claim for wrongful death may alleviate these unfortunate circumstances.

Surviving family members may be eligible to recover compensation for:

  • Medical bills that have accrued before death
  • Pain and suffering costs accrued before death
  • Emergency medical treatment costs, such as ambulance transportation
  • Loss of companionship and support
  • Loss of consortium
  • Loss of future lifetime income the deceased would have earned
  • Payments for household services that the deceased provided
  • Funeral costs and burial expenses
  • Other punitive damages

No monetary payment may be large enough to fully compensate for the wrongs that have been done to your family. Perhaps the psychological impact of coming to terms with the premature death of your family member has caused you significant distress. 

Obtaining the financial compensation that you need can provide temporary relief in the form of paying for any of your financial obligations. Let us focus on your financial security so you may focus on the process of healing and preparing for the future.

When Should I File a Wrongful Death Claim?

When a loved one passes away as a result of injuries sustained in an accident of any kind, you may pursue a wrongful death claim. From traffic accidents to workplace accidents, fatal injuries caused by another person's negligence may be grounds for your family to recover compensation.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Should I hire a lawyer for my personal injury case?
    There are several reasons for hiring a lawyer to represent you in your personal injury claim, rather than representing yourself. 1.) It allows you to focus on your own recovery, rather than the complicated details of your case. 2.) By hiring a skilled personal injury attorney to research your case and represent you in court, your chances of success improve drastically.
  • How long will my personal injury case take to resolve?

    This number can vary from one case to another, depending on the details of your situation. A lawsuit can take anywhere from several months to several years to settle.

  • What is the average settlement amount for a personal injury claim?

    The average compensation amount for a personal injury case is anywhere from $3,000 to $75,000, depending on what type of damages you are pursuing.

  • Does California put damage caps on claims for personal injury cases?

    No, only Medical Malpractices cases have a cap.
