Who Can Legally File a Wrongful Death Claim in California?
Certain family members, including spouses, parents, and dependents, are allowed to file a wrongful death claim. Typically, spouses or registered domestic partners have the exclusive right to file.
After some time, surviving children or parents can file. In some cases, grandchildren can file. Other legal dependents can also file as long as they have lived in the household for at least six months.
How to Document and Build a Strong Wrongful Death Claim
To receive compensation for a wrongful death claim, including those relating to accidents with public transportation, utilizing robust strategies and next steps is essential. Documenting an accident scene is not always necessary, but it might be helpful to compile photos, videos, witness statements, and other information.
You will also need to prove that someone was liable for the death of the person to receive compensation. Proving the four following elements is necessary:
- Someone owed the individual a duty of care
- There was a breach of duty of care
- The negligent behavior directly impacted the victim by way of serious injuries, death, or similar
- Economic damages
We also recommend you work with a qualified attorney to support your case, as your lawyer can help suggest your next steps tailored to your circumstances. An attorney from Younglove Law Group can speak on your behalf and prove the elements necessary to win fair compensation. We have a strong understanding of the law, making it much easier for loved ones to navigate wrongful death claims.
