Every year in California, people lose their lives in accidents that could and should have been prevented. These happen in many ways, but the consequences are generally the same. The survivors and families of the victims are often left shaken and unsure where to turn while the sudden loss leaves a void that is hard to fill. Sadly, this happens all too often throughout the United States and the only recourse left to families is to consider taking legal action.
Many wrongful death cases are the result of accidents on the road, but in truth, fatal accidents can happen anywhere and at any time. Even something as simple as a fall can kill. For example, if you are visiting poorly maintained premises, you could be seriously injured.
Similarly, defective products can be very dangerous, depending on how they malfunction. Even medicine can be a hazard if you have been given an unsafe drug. Unfortunately, some of these defects can have fatal consequences and by the time the issue is discovered, it may be too late.
If you have lost a loved one as a result of someone else's negligence, you may be entitled to compensation. We can also advise you about your options and assist you with your claim.
We provide quality representation to clients in the following areas of law:
Personal injury law allows an injured person to go to civil court and get a legal remedy (damages) for all losses stemming from an accident or other incident. The purpose of the personal injury system is to allow the injured person to be compensated financially or "made whole" after he or she has suffered harm due to someone else's carelessness or intentional conduct.
Wrongful death claims are brought against a defendant who has caused someone's death. Wrongful death claims allow the estate and/or those close to a deceased person to file a lawsuit against the party who is legally liable for the death. Though each state's wrongful death laws vary, these kinds of lawsuits are usually filed by a representatative of the deceased person's estate, often on behalf of surviving family members affected by the death.
Other areas of practice include:
