  1. Why Hire a Wrongful Death Attorney? • An attorney who is not mourning the death of a loved one can think more clearly and objectively. • An attorney can take care of the legal matters while you mourn the loss of your loved one and focus on the needs of your family. • An attorney has more experience in successfully getting you and your family the full extent of the compensation that you deserve. • A qualified Los Angeles wrongful death attorney will know how to successfully prove the claim. • An experienced attorney will know where to look to find the facts of the case and any necessary witnesses to prove the claim. • An attorney will help you avoid any statute of limitation issues, which may ultimately bar you from bringing a claim.

  2. What You Need Prove? In order to successfully bring a wrongful death claim against the liable party who caused the fatal accident, you need to prove the same case as the deceased victim would need to prove. In other words, you must prove that: • The defendant owed your loved one a duty of care • The defendant breached such duty of care • The breach of such duty was the actual and proximate cause of the death • The resulting death of your loved one caused you financial damages.

  3. What Damages May Be Recovered? • Medical costs that your loved one incurred due to injury. • Loss of your loved one’s income. • Loss of inheritance from your loved one. • Loss of love and companionship. • Loss of consortium. How long do I have to file a wrongful death lawsuit? Each state has its own time limit for filing a wrongful death lawsuit, called the statute of limitation. In most cases, a claim must be filed within two years of the date of the wrongful death. However, in some cases this time is shortened. For example, a medical malpractice wrongful death lawsuit may be required to be filed within 1 year of the date of the death.
