Losing a loved one can have serious personal, emotional, and financial effects on your life and your family's lives. This loss may be even more traumatic if your loved one’s death was caused by someone else’s negligent, reckless, or intentional conduct.
If you have lost a loved one under these circumstances, you may want to consider consulting a Los Angeles injury lawyer about filing a wrongful death lawsuit.
The financial impact of your loved one’s death, both immediate and long-term, may be devestating for a family. A court and a jury will try to place a legal value on your family's loss and the devestating impact on your life.
In a wrongful death action, you must prove that the defendant was negligent or that he or she failed to exercise reasonable care whcih resulted in your loved one's death.
Wrongful death cases may involve medical malpractice, vehicle accidents, premises-related injuries, dangerous and defective drugs or medical devices, assault and battery, among others.
It would be our mission to demonstrate to either the judge or jury that a defendant’s misconduct or wrongful omission was the cause of your loved one’s death.
What Damages Can Be Recovered?
In calculating damages, a judge or jury may consider the following:
- Expenses related to the care, hospitalization, and death of the victim (including medical bills and reasonable funeral expenses);
- The loss of love, companionship, comfort, advice, care, and protection that the deceased person provided;
- Pain, suffering, and mental anguish of the survivors;
- Loss of future earnings and benefits anticipated over the victim’s lifetime (including income, medical insurance, pensions, and 401K); and
- Punitive damages if the person responsible for the wrongful death acted in a way that was willful, reckless, or showed a conscious disregard for the safety of others.
