Riverside Wrongful Death Attorneys
Wrongful death
is any death caused by a negligent,
careless, intentional or reckless
act of another person or
corporation.
The required elements for a wrongful
death case include:
-
Death of
person
-
That death
was caused by the negligence of
another
-
There are
surviving family members who are
monetarily suffering due to that
death
-
There must be
a personal representative
appointed to bring the suit on
behalf of the decedent's estate.
If
you are able to prove that you will
experience severe future emotional
and financial hardship as a result
of the death of this person, per
California law there are three kinds
of damages you may be entitled to
claim:
-
The loss of
the love, companionship,
comfort, affection, society,
solace, moral support, and (if a
spouse is a claimant) consortium
of the decedent
-
The value of
the household services the
decedent would have provided in
the future
-
The value of
the financial support which the
claimant would have received
from the decedent but for the
death.
But,
before anyone can recover any
damages, first you have to determine
WHO is actually authorized to seek
wrongful death damages.
As a general rule, the first people
in line are the surviving spouse,
children and the surviving issue of
deceased children of the decedent.
If these relationships do not exist,
then the parents, siblings, children
of deceased siblings, grandparents
and their lineal descendants may
make a claim.
The line continues further down to
the putative spouse (a person who
can prove that he or she had a good
faith belief that he or she was
married to the decedent but was, in
fact, not married to the decedent),
children of the putative spouse,
stepchildren, and parents of the
decedent.
