AGGRESSIVE, EXPERIENCED RIVERSIDE WRONGFUL DEATH LAWYER
Losing a loved one is a devastating experience. Regardless of whether that person is a parent, sibling, spouse, or another family member, the grief can be enormous. But some deaths are especially hard on the family because they are caused by someone else’s negligence, or worse, by the intentional act to harm the victim. During this very trying time, you are not only mourning a loss of a loved one, but you also may be wondering what to do, especially if the decedent was the breadwinner in the family and you are looking at financial hardship and loss of needed benefits without them.
If you have suffered the loss of a family member due to negligence or a wrongful act, you should seek the counsel of an experienced Riverside wrongful death attorney who can guide you through the complex process of filing a wrongful death lawsuit.

Wrongful Death Claims Process in Riverside
California laws stipulate that if a person causes another person’s death, he or she can be subject to criminal prosecution and be sued for civil damages in a wrongful death lawsuit. A party can be held liable for damages in a variety of situations. Below is a list of some of the more common causes of negligence or willful intent resulting in wrongful death:
- Auto accidents
- Falls
- Fires
- Drowning
- Workplace accidents
- Defective products
- Assaults
- Dangerous drugs
- Medical malpractice
It is important to know who is allowed to pursue damages for wrongful death in California. The victim’s spouse, children, or parents are the most common claimants in these cases. In some cases, especially where a spouse, children, or parents don’t exist, grandparents, nieces, nephews, common law or putative spouses, and other relatives may pursue claims. Their relationship to the decedent and whether or not they were financially dependent on the victim are important factors in the types of damages they can pursue. Most damages include loss of financial and emotional support, loss of companionship, mental anguish, present and future earnings of the decedent, and others that your Riverside wrongful death lawyer can explain.
