Who Can File a Wrongful Death Claim in California?

California law limits who may file a wrongful death claim. Under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 377.60, the eligible parties typically include:

  • The surviving spouse or domestic partner of the deceased
  • The deceased’s surviving children
  • If there is no surviving spouse or children, those who would inherit under California intestate succession, such as parents or siblings
  • Putative spouses, stepchildren, and other dependents who relied on the deceased financially

We make sure every eligible family member is represented, and where it applies, we also bring a survival action on behalf of the estate.

Compensation in a Los Angeles Wrongful Death Case

No amount of money can replace your loved one. But a wrongful death claim provides financial security and accountability for the losses your family has suffered. California law allows recovery for:

  • Medical and funeral expenses related to the death
  • Loss of financial support the deceased would have provided
  • Loss of household services, guidance, and care
  • Loss of love, companionship, comfort, and moral support
  • The deceased’s pain, suffering, and lost wages before death (through a survival action)

We work with financial and medical experts to value the full loss — including support that should have continued for decades — so the at-fault party is held fully accountable.
