  1. HAS YOUR FAMILY MEMBER DIED ON THE JOB?

  2. The compensation you are entitled to won’t heal you but it will help ease some burden. It’s important to know what the law is in California for a wrongful death claim. In order to file for this you must prove the existence of the following: • Someone has died • The surviving members are suffering financially as a result • The death was caused by negligence or intent to harm • The deceased estate has a personal representative appointed

  3. Who Can Sue? In the case of wrongful death, the law is very specific on who can sue. Typically the spouse, domestic partner, children, or even grandchildren (if the departed children are also deceased) can sue. If there is no surviving person in the deceased person’s “line of descent” then others may sue. This includes people who were entitled to the property of the deceased, including parents or siblings.

  4. Damages Available Damages are usually divided into the surviving family members that endured loss or compensating the estate for losses they suffered due to the death. This includes the loss of anticipated financial support, the loss of love, affection, moral support, and guidance, as well as the value of the household services.

  5. Difference between “Wrongful Death” and “Survival Action” The “wrongful death” lawsuit must take place, then the survival lawsuit allows for their beneficiaries to sue on behalf of the departed estate. A survival lawsuit is complicated but can compensate based on losses for the injury that caused the death, if the injury was for a period of time, and also for claims unrelated to the death that the deceased had a right to sue for as of the date of death.
