California Wrongful Death Explained
Wrongful death cases in San Jose involve complex liability issues. Unlike ordinary personal injury claims, wrongful death focuses on losses suffered by the surviving family.

❤️ What is a Wrongful Death in California?
A wrongful death claim arises when someone’s death is caused by negligence, wrongful conduct, or corporate misconduct. Eligible family members may recover compensation for:
- loss of financial support
- loss of companionship
- funeral and burial expenses
- loss of household services
- emotional suffering
🧑⚖️ Who Has Legal Standing?
Under California law, these family members may file:
- spouses or domestic partners
- children
- grandchildren (if children are deceased)
- certain legal dependents
Multiple family members may participate depending on the circumstances.
⚖ Family Claims vs Victim Claims
California recognizes two separate claims that may apply:
Wrongful Death
Compensation for the family, including:
- emotional losses
- financial support
- companionship
Survival Action
Compensation for damages suffered by the victim before death:
- medical bills
- lost wages
- pain and suffering
- punitive damages
Many lawyers fail to pursue both. I pursue everything the law allows.
💰 What Your Case May Be Worth
California wrongful death compensation may include:
medical expenses
funeral expenses
lost income
loss of future financial support
loss of companionship
emotional damages
🚨 Statute of Limitations
Most claims must be filed within two years — but exceptions exist. Medical negligence cases may have shorter deadlines.
