Can I File A Wrongful Death Claim?

If you intend to file a wrongful death claim on behalf of a loved one who has passed away (“decedent”), California law, specifically the California Code of Civil Procedure, only allows the following individuals or entities to pursue a claim:

• The decedent’s surviving spouse or surviving domestic partner
• The decedent’s surviving children or surviving grandchildren of deceased children
• The decedent’s legal heirs if the decedent had no will
• The decedent’s putative spouse, children of putative spouse, stepchildren, or parents
• A minor who resided with the decedent for the previous 180 days in decedent’s household and was dependent on the decedent for one-half or more of the minor’s support
• A personal representative of the decedent

Unfortunately, even though it may seem obvious that another person is liable for the death of your loved one, you will have difficulty with the insurance companies during the wrongful death claims process. This is where our team at Yaghmai Law Firm, APC can help you.

We know the tactics which insurance companies and defendants use in these cases to reduce their liability. Insurance adjusters will try to trick you into making a recorded statement that they will surely use against you later. The insurance company and insurance adjuster are not your friends. Despite the validity of your claim and despite your subjective belief that you are a fair person, the insurance companies will do anything in their power to not pay you and your family what you deserve. You must consult with an experienced wrongful death attorney before even considering accepting any settlement offer and you should never volunteer information to the insurance adjuster.

• The value of household services your loved one would have provided;
• The value of gifts your loved one would have given his/her heirs;
