Oakland Wrongful Death Attorneys
The sudden and unexpected loss of a family member is always shocking and painful. When a person’s death is caused by somebody else’s negligent, careless or even illegal action, the loss is even more traumatic. Under California law, surviving family members of such deaths can file a wrongful death claim for financial damages. Although no amount of money can ever take away the pain of a loved one’s death, compensation can alleviate financial distress related to an accident and hold a negligent party financially responsible for a loss. The Oakland wrongful death lawyers at Estey & Bomberger understand the emotional and financial devastation surrounding a loved one’s death. Our attorneys represent surviving family members in wrongful death claims, and work diligently to obtain the highest possible settlement or verdict.
What is Wrongful Death?
Wrongful death is the area of law that allows family members to bring a claim for the negligent, careless, reckless or intentional act that resulted in death. Damages depend on many factors, including the survivors’ relationship with the deceased and the negligent party’s liability. Survivors may be able to obtain compensation for:
- Final medical expenses
- Burial/funeral expenses
- Expected future earnings of the decedent
- Pain and suffering / mental anguish.
In certain cases where the wrongdoer showed reckless disregard for human life or acted illegally, punitive damages may be awarded.
Causes of Wrongful Death
A wrongful death claim may potentially be brought after any death due to negligence. Claims can be brought against any liable person or company who contributed to the death. Some of the most common types of accidents that result in wrongful death claims are auto accidents, aviation accidents, truck accidents, accidents caused by defective products, construction accidents, exposure to toxic chemicals and deaths due to medical malpractice.
