How will an attorney help the wrongful death claim in San Diego?

Wrongful death claims can become incredibly complicated in California. However, a skilled San Diego wrongful death lawyer can use their resources and legal expertise to:

How do San Diego wrongful death claims arise?

At the Younglove Law Firm, our firm helps family members who have lost loved ones in a variety of ways. Some of the most common ways that wrongful death claims arise in San Diego include the following:

How long do family members have to file wrongful death claims?

Each state is responsible for setting time limits for how long family members have to file wrongful death claims in civil court. The California wrongful death statute of limitations is two years from the date of death. If family members or their personal representatives fail to file a claim within this two-year timeframe, they will likely lose the ability to recover any compensation for their losses.

Who is allowed to file a wrongful death claim?

When we turn to California’s Code of Civil Procedure 377.60, we can see that there are various parties that have standing to bring a wrongful death lawsuit forth in civil court. This includes the following family members (or personal representatives of these family members) of the deceased:

  • Surviving spouses
  • Domestic partners
  • Children
  • Grandchildren
  • Other minor children who were dependent on the deceased for at least 50% of their support
  • Any other person that would be entitled to the deceased’s property under the state laws of intestate succession
