Defining Wrongful Death

When someone’s negligent or reckless actions fatally injure a person, it is typically considered a case of wrongful death. These cases, similar to personal injury cases, require the plaintiff to show how the defendant was at fault for their loved one’s death. In some cases, defining liability is difficult—in others, it simply needs a short investigation. No matter your situation, our team has the knowledge and resources to determine who can be held responsible for the loss of your loved one.

Some common situations that lead to wrongful death cases include:

Additionally, wrongful death cases typically involve more than one defendant, or person or entity, that might be liable for your loved one’s death, including:

  • The driver of a truck or motor vehicle
  • An employer
  • Manufacturers, distributors, or designers
  • Health care facilities
  • Drug companies
  • Government agencies or entities
  • Owners or operators of public establishments
  • Coordinators of public events

When multiple defendants are involved, it’s important to have an experienced attorney who can help you file a claim against each party to maximize your recovery. With over two decades of experience, our team at Robins Cloud LLP can handle your case with skill and compassion.

Damages That May Be Available in a Wrongful Death Case

In California, the compensation you may be entitled to recover is dependent on the facts and circumstances of your case. Damages you might be awarded include:

  • Medical expenses associated with your loved one’s final illness or injury;
  • Your loved one’s funeral and burial expenses;
  • Any lost or potential future income;
  • Compensation for losing any anticipated financial support;
  • The value of household services;
  • Compensation for losing the love, moral support, affection, attention, community, and guidance of your loved one; and,
  • Court costs and attorney fees.

Depending on what your relationship is with your deceased loved one, if you have other family members that are affected by your loved one’s death, the damages may be divided among you and your other family members as well. Especially if your claim or your right to file is contested by another family member, it’s important to have a strong attorney on your side.

How Our Wrongful Death Attorneys Can Help You

Because we know that emotions and tensions can be high after the loss of a loved one, we are here to provide legal support and take on the work of filing a wrongful death claim. Dealing with insurance companies, employers, and anyone else involved in your loved one’s death is emotionally taxing. It’s the last thing any family needs during such a difficult time. Our experienced wrongful death attorneys can take care of legal issues, so you have time to grieve and heal with your family.

Our job as your attorney is to establish that the defendant(s) had a duty to act reasonably to protect your loved one’s safety, but failed to do so, leading to the fatal injuries. For example, an employer is obligated to maintain a safe work environment for all. If, however, a company’s equipment failed because it was not properly inspected or maintained, this is a breach of their duty to your loved one.

Overall, most accidents are caused by negligence of some sort. The attorneys at Robins Cloud LLP will work diligently to determine who was responsible and bring them to justice.

The Timeline for a California Wrongful Death Case

As with California personal injury cases, the statute of limitations for filing a wrongful death claim is two years. This time period starts on the date of your loved one’s death. While we understand how heavy a burden grief can be, we also don’t want you to miss your chance for justice. Investigating a complex wrongful death claim takes time, and if we are not able to file a case before the statute of limitations runs out, you may not be able to take any legal action at all. Therefore, we advise you reach out to our team sooner than later and let us start working for you.
