Wrongful Death Attorneys in California

Whenever there is a death involved in a lawsuit, there will undoubtedly be parallel emotional anguish. It simply isn't an easy subject to deal with. Not only has a loved one passed away, but by definition a wrongful death charge means that someone else caused the death. In other words, it isn't a natural death, and someone was cheated out of fulfilling their life expectancy. It isn't an easy situation to deal with by any means, and seeking financial compensation for a wrongful death won't be the first thing a bereaved person thinks about.

However, if you've lost a loved one in a potential wrongful death case, it's in your interest to contact an experienced, sensitive lawyer with a good track record of winning claims in such cases. At Demas & Rosenthal, we have years and years of experience with cases like yours, and we make it a priority to both listen sympathetically and to pursue the case aggressively on your behalf so that you can get the compensation your loved one would want you to have.

Chances are, you're mourning rather than thinking about the future, and you should have the space you need to do that. We can help by gathering the information that will help your case and letting you proceed with the grieving process. Because of our experience handling cases like yours, we can identify the many elements of a potential settlement; not just lost wages, but medical costs, funeral costs, and intangible costs like the loss of a parent's influence.

It may seem tempting just to accept whatever insurance settlement is offered and move on, but down the road you may find yourself needing more and not having any recourse to get it. The main reasons to pursue a wrongful death case are that you need the money to care for the deceased's family members, and to seek justice for your loved one.

A wrongful death trial usually involves a plaintiff who has lost a loved one who provided some form of financial assistance to the plaintiff. Wrongful death charges aren't generally brought to court just because someone has died and the grieving people want to prove a point. Instead, this is a method by which a person goes to court to ask for damages associated with the death of someone who provided some form of financial support. Perhaps the deceased person was a spouse who brought in a significant portion of the family's income, and now that he or she has passed away the money has stopped coming in. The deceased might also be a parent who completely supported a child, and so the wrongful death charges are brought up on behalf of the child who now has no support from a parent. These are just a couple of instances where a wrongful death suit might be brought to court, and there are countless other possible scenarios.
