  1. What You Need to Know About Wrongful Death By Kristensen Weisberg, LLP

  2. Wrongful Death is always Devastating The loss of a family member or a loved one is always devastating. But it is especially difficult when it happens to a person who is the head of a household. While nothing can bring your loved-one back, you and your family may be entitled to receive compensation if the death was caused by the negligence of others. These types of personal injury lawsuits are known as wrongful death.

  3. How to Prove Wrongful Death in California Proving wrongful death is not always easy. The first step is to consult with an experienced and knowledgeable Los Angeles wrongful death attorney with a track record of looking after the best interests of each client. During the consultation, it is important to address all of your questions and concerns. To successfully recover wrongful death compensation, there are four important factors that need to be covered.

  4. Negligence Unfortunately, simply losing a family member does not automatically qualify for someone to recover wrongful death compensation. You must prove the death was caused by the negligence of others. The plaintiff would have to provide evidence the death was caused by the defendant’s reckless and careless actions.

  5. Breach of Duty The plaintiff will need to establish the victim’s death occurred due to defendant’s failure to obey rules or laws. For example, a surgical error by doctor, nurse or medical technician or a driver’s failure to stop at a red light can result in the death of the victim. In a California wrongful death case, it must be proven the defendant had a duty to maintain the safety of the victim.

  6. Causation Once duty is established, the plaintiff will then have to provide evidence the defendant’s breach of duty caused the victim’s death due to negligence.
