Wrongful Death FAQ

❓ How long do I have to file a wrongful death lawsuit in California?
You have two years from the date of death to file a claim. However, sooner is better, as evidence can disappear.

❓ What if my loved one was partially at fault for the accident?
California follows comparative negligence laws, meaning you can still recover damages even if your loved one was partially responsible.

❓ Can I file a claim if there is also a criminal case?
Yes. A wrongful death lawsuit is a civil case, separate from any criminal charges.

❓ Do I have to go to court?
Most cases settle out of court, but we prepare every case as if it will go to trial to maximize your compensation.
