What is Wrongful Death?

Wrongful death refers to a situation in which another person or entity's negligent, reckless, or intentional actions cause someone's death. In such cases, surviving family members may have the right to file a wrongful death claim to seek compensation for their loss. While no amount of compensation can ever replace a loved one, it can help ease the financial burdens that often accompany a sudden death.

Common Causes of Wrongful Death Claims

Wrongful death claims can arise from various circumstances, including:

Motor vehicle accidents
Defective vehicles
Medical malpractice
Death at birth
Infant or child's death
Fatal drug reactions
Defective products
Defective toys
Nursing home abuse
Airplane crashes
Toxic exposure
Deadly fires
Explosions
Construction accidents
Oilfield accidents
Swimming pool drowning

What is the Statute of Limitations for Wrongful Death in California?

In California, the statute of limitations for wrongful death cases is two years from the date of the person's death. However, there are some exceptions to this rule.

For instance, if the wrongful death was caused by medical malpractice, you may have up to three years from the date of discovery of the malpractice to file a claim but no more than five years from the date of the alleged malpractice. It's essential to consult with an experienced wrongful death lawyer as soon as possible to ensure you meet the necessary deadlines.

Seeking Compensation for Wrongful Death
