Wrongful Death Accident Injury Law Firm
Wrongful Death Attorneys
If a motorist’s negligence has resulted in a tragedy for your family – a deadly vehicle accident, or a drunk driving death — the caring Los Angeles personal injury attorneys at Law Offices of Edward Y Lee can assist.
The unexpected, untimely death of a loved one as a result of a negligent accident is the most traumatic loss that an individual or family can experience. Your wrongful death claim will be handled in every way by our sympathetic lawyers. We understand that a monetary award or settlement offer from insurance cannot ever fully compensate for the loss of a loved one, but it can help you put an end to your misery and move on.
Because wrongful death is by far the most serious of all accident personal injury cases, you may be entitled to a wide variety of financial compensation, including reimbursement for medical bills, loss of financial support for survivors, pain and suffering before death, loss of services, loss of society, comfort, care, and companionship, burial expenses, and other damages.
Please call us at 213-672-2050 to discuss the details of your wrongful death case.

Navigating California Laws For Filing A Wrongful Death Claim
Losing a loved one due to someone else’s negligence is an incredibly painful and challenging experience, as our Los Angeles, CA wrongful death attorney knows. California law recognizes the need for justice in such situations and provides a legal avenue for pursuing compensation through wrongful death claims.
Understanding Wrongful Death Claims
Losing a family member due to another person’s or entity’s wrongful actions can lead to emotional and financial turmoil. In California, a wrongful death claim allows surviving family members to seek compensation for the loss they have endured. Wrongful death claims can arise from various situations, including car accidents, medical malpractice, workplace accidents, or product liability incidents.
Who Can File A Wrongful Death Claim In California?
As our Los Angeles wrongful death attorney knows, California law specifies who can file a wrongful death claim on behalf of the deceased person’s estate and surviving family members. Typically, the following parties are eligible to file a wrongful death claim:
- Surviving Spouse or Domestic Partner: The surviving spouse or registered domestic partner has the first right to file a wrongful death claim.
- Children: If there is no surviving spouse or domestic partner, the deceased person’s surviving children can file a claim.
- Grandchildren: In some cases, grandchildren may be eligible if their parent (the deceased person’s child) has also passed away.
- Dependent Minors: If the deceased person had dependent minors who lived with them at the time of their death, these minors may be eligible to file a claim.
- Other Dependent Family Members: In certain situations, other family members who can prove financial dependence on the deceased person may have the right to file a claim.
Time Limits For Filing A Wrongful Death Claim
It is essential to be aware of the statute of limitations for filing a wrongful death claim in California. Typically, you have two years from the date of the decedent’s death to initiate legal proceedings. Missing this deadline could result in the forfeiture of your right to seek compensation.
