Los Angeles Wrongful Death Attorney

There is nothing more tragic than losing a loved one in a fatal accident. Although no amount of compensation can truly repair your family after the loss, it can help you cope with the financial consequences and other losses associated with the death. A wrongful death claim provides compensation for funeral and burial costs and medical expenses, in addition to the compensation that the decedent would have earned and compensation for the loss of their assistance to their family members. In the lawsuit, the surviving family members must prove that the defendant failed to use reasonable care at the time of the accident and that this failure was the direct cause of the decedent’s death.
