What Is Wrongful Death?

Under California law, wrongful death occurs when someone's life is taken due to the negligence, carelessness, or intentional misconduct of another person or entity. This can involve anything from a reckless driver to a medical professional making a preventable error, or even a property owner neglecting to fix hazardous conditions.

If your loved one would still be alive today had there been no negligence, you may have a case for wrongful death. Riley Ersoff is here to guide you through this process, ensuring that those responsible are held accountable.

Common Causes of Wrongful Death

Tragic accidents and events can lead to wrongful deaths. In Long Beach, these incidents are often caused by negligence across a variety of circumstances, including but not limited to:

• Car Accidents: Reckless, impaired, or distracted driving can have catastrophic consequences.
• Medical Malpractice: Errors such as misdiagnoses, surgical mistakes, or medication errors often result in preventable deaths.
• Premises Liability: Slip-and-fall accidents, structural collapses, or unsafe premises can lead to fatal injuries.
• Workplace Accidents: Particularly in construction and industrial settings, safety violations can tragically cost lives.
• Defective Products: Faulty manufacturing or design can create dangerous products that jeopardize consumer safety.

If you lost a loved one because of another party’s actions or inaction, our Long Beach wrongful death lawyers are here to fight for you.

Damages Recoverable in a Wrongful Death Claim

A wrongful death case aims to provide families not only with a sense of justice but also with financial relief for the burdens they face after losing a loved one. Compensation may cover both economic and non-economic damages.

Potential Compensation Includes:

• Medical Costs: Bills incurred before your loved one’s passing due to the injury or illness.
• Funeral and Burial Expenses: The financial costs of honoring your loved one.
• Loss of Financial Support: Reimbursement for the income and benefits your loved one would have provided.
• Loss of Companionship: Compensation for the emotional guidance, love, and relationship your loved one offered.
• Pain and Suffering: The emotional distress and anguish felt by surviving family members.

The team at Riley Ersoff will work tirelessly to maximize your compensation, helping you secure the resources needed to move forward.

Who Can File a Wrongful Death Lawsuit in California?

Under California law, certain individuals are eligible to file a wrongful death claim. These typically include the following family members of the deceased:

• The surviving spouse or domestic partner.
• The deceased’s children.
• Parents, siblings, or other heirs if no children exist.
• Anyone who was financially dependent on the deceased, such as stepchildren or a putative spouse.
