What Our Experienced San Diego Wrongful Death Accident Attorneys Will Do For You

When a loved one dies, it takes an enormous emotional toll on family members, as well as also causing extreme financial hardship. Fatalities mean someone has to pay for a funeral and a burial, likely cover medical bills, and figure out how to continue providing for a family with the loss of one income. Surviving spouses are left without moral support and can struggle to cope with their loss of companionship. While non-economic damages are priceless, a wrongful death action is one way to help with that financial burden when a loved one is taken from you much too soon.

Your Wrongful Death Losses Can Look Like:

Funeral expenses and burial costs
Medical expenses
Part or all of family income
Emotional support, causing pain, and suffering

Following the death of a loved one, an experienced personal injury attorney can help you take legal action against the responsible parties and give you the support you need while you rebuild your life.

To learn more and have your wrongful death case heard in a free, no-obligation initial consultation, call our San Diego office.

million won

Our client sustained arm and hip injuries from a car vs. motorcycle accident and was released without proper diagnosis due to a COVID-19 surge.

What is a Wrongful Death Case?

A civil action brought by the survivors — or the estate — of a person who died due to the negligence or intentional acts of another is called a “wrongful death” case. Each state has specific rules governing wrongful death claims, including restrictions identifying who has the legal right to file a lawsuit in court.

Under California law, spouses or domestic partners and children of the person who died can file a wrongful death suit as long as it’s done within the statute of limitations (usually two years). Other individuals close to the deceased, such as a putative spouse or stepchildren, might be able to file these claims if there are no surviving partners or children or claims already made. Our San Diego personal injury lawyers at Mova Law Group – Personal Injury Attorneys can give you legal advice on whether you are eligible to pursue your case under state laws.

Wrongful death suits can be filed if there is evidence another party is at fault for your loved one’s death. You will need to prove that the death occurred because of a fatal accident, or someone else’s negligence in order to recover the cost of medical expenses and funeral and burial expenses. You may require witness statements in the event of an accident and even personal testimony regarding the decedent’s character to make your case. Mova Law Group – Personal Injury Attorneys will sit down with you in a free consultation to go over what you will need for your claim.

Frequently Asked Questions

At Mova Law Group – Personal Injury Attorneys, we specialize in representing families of wrongful death victims, ensuring you receive the compensation you deserve. Our experienced attorneys are experts in handling these cases, understanding their unique challenges, and providing personalized legal support. Explore the frequently asked questions below, or contact us today for more information and assistance.

What types of compensation can I receive in a wrongful death case?

In a wrongful death case, you may be entitled to various types of compensation. Economic damages can include medical expenses related to the deceased’s final illness or injury, funeral and burial costs, and lost income and benefits that the deceased would have provided. Non-economic damages can include compensation for pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of companionship, and loss of guidance or support. In some cases, punitive damages may be awarded to punish the responsible party for particularly egregious behavior. An experienced lawyer can help you identify and pursue all potential avenues of compensation to ensure you receive the full amount you deserve.

Who can file a wrongful death lawsuit?

The right to file a wrongful death lawsuit varies by state, but it generally includes immediate family members such as spouses, children, and parents of the deceased. In some states, extended family members like siblings or grandparents, or those who were financially dependent on the deceased, may also have the right to file a claim. Additionally, the personal representative or executor of the deceased’s estate may file a wrongful death lawsuit on behalf of the estate and surviving family members. An experienced lawyer can help you determine who is eligible to file a wrongful death lawsuit in your specific case.

What should I avoid doing after a wrongful death?

After a wrongful death, there are several actions you should avoid to protect your rights and strengthen your case. Do not speak to insurance adjusters or the responsible party’s representatives without consulting your lawyer first, as they may try to obtain statements that can be used against you. Avoid signing any documents or accepting a settlement offer without your lawyer’s advice, as it may not fully cover your losses. Do not delay seeking legal advice, as this can jeopardize your case due to statutes of limitations. Additionally, refrain from discussing details of the case on social media, as these posts can be used against you in your claim.
