Frequently Asked Questions
What is a wrongful death claim in California?
A wrongful death claim allows surviving family members to seek compensation when a loved one dies due to another party’s negligence or wrongful act. In property-related cases, this includes deaths caused by fires, carbon monoxide poisoning, building collapses, and other unsafe conditions caused by a property owner’s failure to maintain a safe building.
Who can file a wrongful death lawsuit in California?
Under California law, the surviving spouse, domestic partner, and children of the deceased can file a wrongful death lawsuit. In some cases, other dependents or family members may also have standing. An attorney can help determine who has the right to file.
How long do I have to file a wrongful death claim in California?
In California, the statute of limitations for wrongful death claims is generally two years from the date of death. However, there are exceptions — for example, if the death was caused by a government entity, you may have only six months to file a government tort claim. Contact an attorney as soon as possible to protect your family’s rights.
What compensation can be recovered in a wrongful death case?
Surviving family members may be able to recover for funeral and burial expenses, loss of financial support, loss of companionship and consortium, loss of household services, and the deceased’s pre-death pain and suffering. The amount depends on the circumstances of the case.
Can I file a wrongful death claim if my family member died due to unsafe property conditions?
Yes. If your loved one died due to unsafe conditions — such as a fire caused by faulty wiring, carbon monoxide poisoning from a defective appliance, or a building collapse — you may have a wrongful death claim against the property owner or building manager.
