Contact our experienced Palmdale wrongful death lawyer today to discuss what happened and talk about how we can help.

What Is Wrongful Death?

Wrongful death refers to a legal claim that can be filed when a person’s death is caused by the negligence or wrongful actions of another party. For instance, around 1,000 or more people are injured or lose their lives in Palmdale every year due to motor vehicle crashes, including car, truck and motorcycle accidents. Many fatal accidents happen because the driver of the other vehicle was speeding, drinking and driving, texting while driving, or engaged in other negligent, reckless or distracted behaviors.

In these cases, it is possible to hold the negligent driver accountable to the victim’s surviving family members for the loss of life. A wrongful death lawsuit can provide valuable compensation after the loss of a loved one as well as obtaining justice for the victim who lost their life due to an unjust act. However, the plaintiffs in a wrongful death case can face a difficult time proving the at-fault party’s liability for the death and the amount of damage caused. An experienced personal injury attorney with a record of success in California wrongful death matters can prove invaluable in pursuing a successful claim and obtaining a full measure of justice and compensation.

Who Can File a Wrongful Death Claim in California?

In California, the parties that can file for wrongful death include:

  • Spouses or Domestic Partners
  • Children
  • Grandchildren (if their parents are deceased)
  • Parents, siblings and other family members if the deceased has no direct heirs, and persons who depended on the deceased for financial support

What Damages Can Be Claimed?

Wrongful death claimants can pursue both economic and non-economic damages in a wrongful death claim. Economic damages may include funeral and burial expenses, medical bills, loss of income or financial support, loss of other benefits, and the value of the loss of household services. Non-economic damages refer to emotional suffering like the loss of love, companionship, and guidance of a parent, child, intimate partner or family member. Darlene Trevino and her team will meticulously build your case to ensure you get the compensation you deserve.
