Wrongful Death
Los Angeles Wrongful Death Attorneys – Seeking Justice for Families
The loss of a loved one is one of the most devastating experiences anyone can face. When that loss is caused by another person’s negligence or reckless behavior, the grief is often compounded by anger and unanswered questions. At Lahmani Law, we understand that no amount of money can replace the life of a spouse, parent, or child—but pursuing a wrongful death claim can provide justice, accountability, and financial security for those left behind.
What Is Wrongful Death?
In California, wrongful death occurs when a person dies as a result of someone else’s negligence, misconduct, or wrongful act. These cases are civil lawsuits brought by surviving family members or representatives of the deceased’s estate.
Common causes of wrongful death cases include:
-
Car, truck, or motorcycle accidents
-
Pedestrian or bicycle accidents
-
Medical malpractice or failure to diagnose
-
Dangerous or defective products
-
Workplace and construction accidents
-
Criminal acts or intentional harm
Wrongful death claims aim to hold negligent parties accountable while helping families recover financially from their unimaginable loss.
Who Can File a Wrongful Death Claim in California?
California law allows certain family members to bring a wrongful death claim, including:
-
The deceased person’s spouse or domestic partner
-
Children of the deceased
-
In some cases, parents, siblings, or other dependents if there are no surviving direct heirs
Our attorneys help families navigate these rules to ensure claims are filed correctly and within California’s statute of limitations.
The Impact of Wrongful Death
Beyond the emotional toll, the death of a loved one can create sudden financial hardship. Families often face:
-
Loss of financial support from the deceased’s income
-
Loss of benefits such as health insurance or retirement contributions
-
Funeral and burial expenses
-
Emotional trauma, grief, and loss of companionship
At Lahmani Law, we work closely with families to understand the full impact of their loss and seek compensation that reflects both the financial and emotional devastation caused.
Damages Available in Wrongful Death Cases
Compensation in wrongful death claims may include:
-
Economic damages – Loss of income, funeral expenses, and the value of household services the deceased provided.
-
Non-economic damages – Loss of companionship, emotional support, guidance, and love.
-
Punitive damages – In cases involving extreme negligence or intentional harm, punitive damages may be awarded to punish the wrongdoer.
We partner with financial experts, economists, and life-care planners to calculate damages accurately and fairly.
