Every year, hundreds of thousands of Americans die in circumstances that entitled their family members to file a wrongful death claim or lawsuit.
Fact: medical malpractice alone claims the lives of over 90,000 U.S. citizens each year, while annual motor vehicle fatalities total more than 30,000 deaths.
In the year 2018, our world is just way too unpredictable and dangerous to know what might cause our death. But there are certain causes of death that may entitle family members, including spouses, parents, and children of the deceased, to seek financial compensation.
Our Riverside wrongful death attorney at JML Law outlines the most common causes of wrongful death in California, and what surviving family members have to prove in order to obtain compensation for their emotional distress, funeral and burial expenses and financial damages.
Regardless of the cause of the death, surviving family members that are entitled to seek financial compensation under California wrongful death laws have to prove four elements of a wrongful death claim or lawsuit.
In the vast majority of cases, you will require the legal help of a Riverside wrongful death lawyer in order to prove all of the above-mentioned four elements. Not proving at least one of the elements makes it impossible to hold the defending party responsible for your loved one’s death, and thus won’t bring you financial recompense.
