Wrongful Death

PERSONAL INJURY REPRESENTATION

Compassionate Representation After the Loss of a Loved One

Losing a loved one is devastating. When someone else’s negligence causes a death, California law may allow eligible family members to pursue a wrongful death claim.

For example, eligible families may seek compensation for lost financial support, funeral expenses, and loss of companionship. In addition, strict legal deadlines can affect their right to file a claim.

Because every family’s circumstances are different, Hamed Law Firm takes the time to review each case and explain the available legal options.

Our Process

How We Approach a Wrongful Death Claim

We review the circumstances of the incident, available reports, photographs, witness information, records, and other evidence that may help establish responsibility.

2. Identify the Responsible Parties

Depending on the circumstances, one or more individuals, businesses, property owners, employers, or other parties may bear responsibility for the conduct that caused the death.

3. Document the Family’s Losses

A wrongful death claim may involve financial and personal losses resulting from the death. We gather the records and information necessary to understand the impact on the surviving family.

4. Pursue an Appropriate Resolution

We present the claim, address disputes concerning liability and damages, and pursue a resolution through negotiation or further legal action when appropriate.

Careful and Respectful Case Preparation

Wrongful death cases require both thorough preparation and sensitivity to what the family is experiencing. We focus on preserving evidence, understanding the circumstances of the loss, and presenting the claim carefully and comprehensively.

THOROUGH INVESTIGATION

We examine the available evidence and circumstances surrounding the death to determine how it occurred and who may be responsible.

COMPASSIONATE REPRESENTATION

We understand that families pursuing wrongful death claims are dealing with far more than a legal matter. Communication is handled with care and respect throughout the representation.

FOCUSED ADVOCACY

We work to document the full impact of the loss and pursue accountability from the parties responsible.

What Is a Wrongful Death Claim?

Who May Bring a Wrongful Death Claim?

The people entitled to pursue a wrongful death claim depend on applicable law and the family circumstances involved. We can review the situation and help determine who may have the right to bring the claim.

What Types of Losses May Be Included?

The losses available in a wrongful death case depend on the circumstances and applicable law. They may include certain financial losses and other harms suffered by eligible surviving family members.

How Long Do Families Have to Bring a Wrongful Death Claim?

Legal deadlines apply to wrongful death claims, and the applicable time limit can vary depending on the circumstances. It is generally important to investigate a potential claim promptly.
