California Wrongful Death Laws

In California, a wrongful death lawsuit allows surviving family members to recover financial compensation when another person or entity caused the death of their loved one because of negligence, recklessness, or malice.

The following family members can bring a wrongful death lawsuit in California:

Surviving spouse
Surviving domestic partner
Surviving children
Anyone entitled to the deceased person’s property, if no surviving members exist

Surviving members have two years from the date of the accident to file a wrongful death lawsuit. In order to succeed, they must prove (1) their loved one passed away, (2) his/her death was the result of another person’s negligence or intent to cause harm, (3) they suffered monetary injury because of the death, (4) they appointed a personal representative for your deceased loved one’s (decedent’s) estate.

Common types of damages from wrongful death lawsuits include:

Funeral and burial costs
Medical expenses before the decedent passed away
Lost income, including potential income the decedent would’ve made if he/she was still alive
Loss of love, moral support, and community
Loss of contributions to the household
