Then read on to find out everything you need to know about wrongful death claims and how a wrongful death lawyer can help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\">Every year in the United States,\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/nchs\/fastats\/accidental-injury.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">more than 220,000 people<\/a><span style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\">\u00a0die due to accidental injuries.<\/span> These may be the result of an accident at work, at home, or on the road.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These tragedies often leave behind loved ones and dependents. This can be an emotional and financially strenuous time for everyone involved. But if you\u2019ve lost someone you loved, a <a href=\"\/practice-areas\/wrongful-death\">wrongful death claim<\/a> could help you get compensation.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"dklaw-toc__block align wp-block-dklaw-toc-block\"><div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Is a Wrongful Death Claim?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A wrongful death&nbsp;occurs when someone dies as a result of negligent behavior by another person. This generally means that they would not have died were it not for this specific action or behavior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, if someone dies as a result of another\u2019s reckless driving, this could result in a wrongful death case. Therefore, a&nbsp;personal injury lawyer&nbsp;would be able to help you if your loved one was killed in an accident on the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can make a wrongful death claim against the driver or institution (ex.,\u00a0rideshare companies,\u00a0commercial trucks) responsible for your loved one\u2019s death. If your claim is successful, then the negligent party will have to compensate you for damages.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"dklaw-toc__block align wp-block-dklaw-toc-block\"><div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who Can Seek Damages in a Wrongful Death Suit?\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>According to&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/leginfo.legislature.ca.gov\/faces\/codes_displaySection.xhtml?sectionNum=377.60.&amp;lawCode=CCP\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the California Code of Civil Procedure<\/a>, various people can make a wrongful death claim. This includes:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list is-style-arrow-list\">\n<li>The partner, spouse, or a putative spouse of the deceased<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Surviving children and stepchildren<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Surviving grandchildren<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Surviving children of the putative spouse<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Parents of the deceased<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Legal guardians of the deceased (if their parents are no longer alive)\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Legal heirs of the deceased\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Most courts only allow one wrongful death lawsuit, so you may need to speak with other family members about who should file the claim. Any damages could be split among the family members, although this may be at the discretion of the member who filed the claim.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"dklaw-toc__block align wp-block-dklaw-toc-block\"><div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Types of Damages and Compensation in a Wrongful Death Case<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Losing a loved one can impact your life in a number of ways. Because of this, you can claim a few different types of damages to cover the ways in which their death has affected you. Let\u2019s take a look at the different damages you can claim in a wrongful death case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Claiming Economic Damages<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In a wrongful death claim, you should always look into getting economic damages after the loss of a loved one. These are typically the easiest to claim, as they are the most tangible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Economic damages cover any financial loss that you have suffered as a result of your loved one\u2019s death. This can include:\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list is-style-arrow-list\">\n<li>Medical costs incurred by their injuries and treatments prior to death<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Their funeral and burial expenses\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Loss of their financial income to support dependents (typically partners and children)\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Loss of financial assistance that the deceased may have offered to other family members<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are making one single claim, then you can consolidate all of these factors into it. So if your partner was assisting in paying for a house mortgage, you can include this with other financial losses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Claiming Non-Economic Damages<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Non-economic damages are less tangible but are still extremely important. These cover the things that you can\u2019t put a price on, such as:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list is-style-arrow-list\">\n<li>The loss of a partner or spouse (also known as loss of consortium)\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The loss of guidance and support from your loved one<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Psychological suffering caused by the death of a loved one, including anxiety, depression, and insomnia<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The loss of love and care from your loved one<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>A lawyer will be able to talk you through ways to demonstrate these losses in your claim. Often, this involves providing evidence of the type of relationship you had prior to your loved one\u2019s death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This might include photos, videos, and testimony from friends and other family members. Therapists and counselors can also provide testimony about the emotional impact that your grief has had.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Claiming Punitive Damages<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You will not always be able to claim punitive damages in a wrongful death claim. These only apply if your loved one\u2019s death resulted from extreme negligence, reckless behavior, or deliberate malice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, a driver who purposefully runs over a victim could be sued for punitive damages. Victims of drink or dangerous driving accidents may also be able to sue for punitive damages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In California, however, you are not able to claim punitive damages when making a wrongful death claim. That said, you can initiate a survival action under the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/leginfo.legislature.ca.gov\/faces\/codes_displaySection.xhtml?lawCode=CCP&amp;sectionNum=377.30.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">California Civil Code 377.30<\/a>. This makes it possible to seek punitive damages alongside your claim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to seek punitive damages, it is a good idea to have a specialist lawyer on your side. So if your loved one was hit by a taxi, for example, you may want to speak to an Uber or Lyft accident lawyer.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"dklaw-toc__block align wp-block-dklaw-toc-block\"><div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Get Help From a Wrongful Death Lawyer Today<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have recently lost a loved one in an accident, you may qualify for compensation by filing a wrongful death claim.
