What Is Wrongful Death?
A wrongful death is any death caused by the negligence or wrongdoing of another party. Certain family members have the right to pursue damages they have sustained because of their loved one’s death.
In a California wrongful death claim, the surviving spouse, children, stepchildren, parents, and other individuals who were financially dependent on the deceased person may be eligible to recover damages. If you think you may be entitled to wrongful death compensation, you must promptly consult an experienced California wrongful death attorney.
What is the Statute of Limitations For Filing a California Wrongful Death Claim?
A statute of limitations is a law that sets the deadline for filing a wrongful death claim. If you miss your statute of limitations deadline, you will not be able to recover compensation.
The statute of limitations for a California wrongful death lawsuit is generally two years from the date of death. However, there are some exceptions to the two-year deadline, so you should promptly consult with an experienced California wrongful death lawyer to determine your deadline.
