Wrongful Death Lawyers
Long Beach Accidents

When an accident ends tragically in death, the victim cannot bring a lawsuit. But that does not mean that whoever caused the accident gets off scot-free. If the victim would have had grounds to sue, the lawsuit survives to be filed by the victim's estate and family members.

When this happens, it is called a lawsuit for "wrongful death." A wrongful death is one that can be blamed on the intentional, or even the accidental, acts of someone else. A wrongful death might be brought about by a defective product, an employer's neglect in following safety codes or a reckless driver's accidental failure to stop for a red light.

Whatever the cause, and whether it happened in Long Beach or elsewhere, an accident that ends in death leaves loved ones devastated. Family members are left to face not only the pain of their loss but also medical bills, unpaid credit card debts and other financial losses.

Recovering damages from whoever caused the wrongful death may offer the best possible hope for the victim's family members. If you lose someone to a wrongful death, seek help from a Long Beach wrongful death lawyer as soon as possible. Otherwise, you may lose the right to recover anything from your claim.

Long Beach Wrongful Death Cases

A "wrongful death" is an accidental death caused by someone else's carelessness. Almost any kind of accident can result in a wrongful death, including traffic collisions, work accidents, dangerous product mishaps, and violent incidents. Whatever its cause, a wrongful death robs family members of the victim's economic support, love, and companionship.

If you believe a close relative has been killed in a Long Beach wrongful death accident, you should contact an experienced and competent wrongful death attorney without delay.

A skilled wrongful death attorney can help you recover monetary compensation for your losses, including financial support, love, and companionship. The Reeves Law Group attorneys have won exceptional recoveries in many thousands of personal injury cases, including numerous cases involving wrongful deaths.


Who Can File A Wrongful Death Claim

Some of the accident victim's close relatives may file a wrongful death claim, including:

  • Surviving spouse.
  • Children.
  • Dependent stepchildren.
  • Dependent minors living in the victim's home for at least six months.
  • Dependent parents.

If there are no close relatives, the law may allow more distant family members to make claims.

The victim's estate may be able to file a particular kind of wrongful death claim called a "survival action." In a survival action, the estate sues to recover the compensation the wrongful death victim could have claimed had the victim survived. Cash recovered in a survival action goes into the victim's estate, to be distributed among the victim's heirs.

Wrongful Death Cases

Many wrongful death cases can be resolved without going to court. In other cases, your wrongful death lawyer will recommend which parties should be sued. Suing multiple parties could increase the likelihood of you receiving proper compensation for your losses.

Typical parties who may be sued in a wrongful death case include:

  • Drivers of cars, trucks, and motorcycles.
  • Individuals whose violent behavior caused the death.
  • Property owners.
  • Property managers or operators.
  • Franchisors and other service providers.
  • Parent corporations.
  • Government entities charged with maintaining safety in public areas.

What Can Be Recovered

Family members may obtain a money recovery through settlement, arbitration, or trial. Close relatives may be compensated for losses caused by the death, such as:

  • Financial support.
  • Companionship.
  • Costs of caring for minor children.
  • Costs of caring for dependent parents.
  • Affection and love.

In a survival action, estate of the deceased may recover for losses the victim would have suffered had the victim survived, including:

  • Pain and suffering.
  • Doctor and hospital bills.
  • Assisted living expenses.
  • Lost wages.
  • Dimished future earning capacity.
