What Constitutes Wrongful Death?

According to the California Code of Civil Procedure Section 377.60, a wrongful death claim is a legal action taken for the death of a person caused by the wrongful act or neglect of another party. This type of lawsuit can be pursued after an intentional or malicious act of wrongdoing, such as a crime (e.g., homicide). However, you can also file a wrongful death claim if the at-fault party (the defendant) did not intend to cause the victim's death, such as in cases of negligence or recklessness.

Who Can File a Wrongful Death Lawsuit?

California law limits the right to bring a wrongful death lawsuit to specific family members or the personal representative of the decedent's estate. In certain circumstances, other dependents may qualify. You must meet the following criteria to file a claim for wrongful death:

 

• Surviving spouse or domestic partner
• Surviving child or grandchild
• The survivor's putative spouse or child, the putative stepchildren (if dependent upon the decedent), or the putative parents.
• Anyone else who relied on the decedent for at least 50 percent of their financial support and lived in the decedent's home for the prior 180 days
• The personal representative, administrator, or executor of the decedent's estate

If you're unsure whether you qualify to file a wrongful death claim, contact our attorneys for legal advice and more information about California's laws.

• Reasonable funeral and burial costs
• Medical expenses related to the fatal injury or illness
• Lost income and employment benefits
