What Is a Wrongful Death Claim?
A wrongful death claim is a civil lawsuit filed when a person dies because of another party’s negligence, carelessness, or wrongful actions. These cases are separate from any criminal charges and focus on helping surviving family members review financial losses and understand their legal rights.
Wrongful death cases in California may involve vehicle accidents, workplace accidents, construction accidents, dangerous property conditions, defective products, or other preventable incidents. You can review California’s wrongful death statute through California Code of Civil Procedure Section 377.60.
At Weltin Law, we guide families through the legal process with care, helping them understand their options and possible next steps. You can also learn more about our Weltin Law attorneys.
