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

Determining who has the right to file — and ensuring all eligible family members are represented — is one of the first things our Long Beach wrongful death attorneys handle. We also pursue a related “survival action” on behalf of the estate where appropriate.

Compensation in a Long Beach 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)

Our wrongful death lawyers work with financial and medical experts to fully value your family’s losses, including future support that will never come. We make sure the at-fault party and their insurers are held fully accountable.
