What is Considered Wrongful Death?

A “wrongful death” occurs when someone’s death is caused by the wrongful act of someone else, according to California law. That “wrongful act” could be actions that were reckless, negligent, or possibly even intentional. Should it be the latter, then the person who committed the wrongful act could be at risk of criminal prosecution. If any of that occurred, then you very well may have a wrongful death lawsuit. If you have any questions about whether or not you’re able to bring a wrongful death suit, it’s worth it to reach out to an experienced attorney to know the truth.

How Do You Prove Wrongful Death?

To be able to prove wrongful death, you have to be able to prove four separate elements. For one, you have to be able to prove that your loved one’s death was caused by the negligence, recklessness, or carelessness of the defendant (the person you’re suing). Your loved one’s death doesn’t have to be caused entirely by the actions of the defendant, they could be partially responsible and you would still have a valid case.

You also must be able to prove that the defendant had a duty they owed to the victim (your loved one) and that this duty was breached. For example, a doctor’s duty is to heal a person, a driver has a duty to follow the laws of the road. Breaching those can lead to deaths. Furthermore, you have to be able to prove that the defendant’s action caused the death of your loved one. Finally, you also need to prove that the death of your loved one generated damages that must be compensated. This would be medical bills, funeral costs, even loss of income (including potential income), your pain and suffering, as well as a loss of guidance, protection, and inheritance.

Who Gets The Money in a Wrongful Death Lawsuit?

There is no set average for wrongful death lawsuits in California or elsewhere. As every situation is different, so too are the settlements for wrongful death lawsuits.  It is difficult to place a dollar figure on the value of a loved one.  Thus, wrongful death cases have one of the highest dollar values amongst all personal injury cases.  

The best way to find out what your case is worth is to speak to an experienced wrongful death attorney. With years of experience to draw upon, Belal Hamideh can give you an idea as to what your case might be worth. Then, he can pursue that aggressively, making certain that you get everything that you deserve.
