Los Angeles Wrongful Death Lawyer

Wrongful Death Overview

When someone else’s negligence results in the death of an individual, that individual’s family is entitled to recover damages for their loss. At AlderLaw, we understand the pain and suffering family members endure when their loved one is wrongfully taken from them. While no amount of money will bring their loved one back, it is important to hold the individual or business accountable for their actions. We can help.

Who Can Bring a Wrongful Death Lawsuit

Generally, immediate family members (spouses, children and parents) have standing to file a wrongful death claim. The amount of damages awarded will depend on the family member’s relationship to the deceased.

Contact the experienced attorneys at AlderLaw to discuss your potential wrongful death claim.

Financial Compensation in a Wrongful Death Case

A wrongful death victim’s family can seek financial compensation for the financial support that the deceased would have contributed to the family and the loss of the decedent’s love, companionship, comfort, care, protection, and affection, as well as:

• Reimbursement for all medical expenses incurred as a result of the negligence;
• Reimbursement for the loss of any future support;
• Reimbursement for property damage, if applicable;
• Reimbursement for any punitive damages if the negligence was found to be criminal.
