Fatal Car Accidents in California

Fatalities resulting from car accidents are unfortunately common occurrences in California, with thousands of lives lost on our state’s roads every year. The sudden and unexpected loss of a loved one can create significant challenges for families, many of whom find it difficult to navigate through the aftermath.

Following the loss of a family member, there may be legal recourse available. In California, various parties have the right to initiate legal proceedings against the accountable driver.

Other eligible parties for seeking financial restitution after the loss of a loved one include:

• Surviving parents or siblings of the deceased, along with their offspring
• Grandparents of the deceased
• Any individual who was financially reliant on the deceased, including putative spouses and their children
