The death of a loved one is a life altering event. Even more so, when the circumstances of that death are wrongful. Under California law, a death is considered “wrongful” when it results from negligent or unlawful acts of another person or party.
Examples of Wrongful Death Actions:
- Car accidents resulting in the death of a party
- Slip and fall accidents resulting in the death of a party
- Medical malpractice incidents resulting in the death of a party
- Workplace accidents resulting in the death of a party
- Police encounters resulting in the death of a party
