Losing a family member or loved one is difficult at any time. When the death occurs due to the negligence of another person or entity, it is often extremely difficult for the surviving family members. There is the challenge in dealing with the loss and grief, but also in trying to hold the negligent party accountable.
There are specific laws that apply to wrongful death cases in Temecula. These are set forth in the California Civil Procedures, which defines wrongful death and also stipulates the times of damages that the families can claim.
Hiring a Death Claim Attorney
At any time, it is challenging for an individual to work with insurance companies. In a time of grief and loss, it is even more challenging. Hiring a death claim attorney to provide legal representation in negotiations and potential litigation of your claim is the best way to ensure you receive full and fair compensation.
When talking to a potential death claim attorney for your case, be sure to check reviews, verify the experience of the attorney in this area of the law, and to also ask for an evaluation of your case.
For wrongful deaths that occurred in Temecula or across the state, the California Code of Civil Procedure allows for compensation for funeral expenses, loss of income, as well as the loss of companionship. In addition, many of these lawsuits are also filed with a survival cause of action, which is compensation for losses of the victim, which is in addition to the losses of the family.
