The Wrongful Death Case
The laws are very specific: The California Wrongful Death Statute and Survivor Statute expresses that a wrongful death lawsuit can be brought by the survivors of the deceased family member. The Los Angeles California personal injury law firm of DiMarco | Araujo | Montevideo has been walking side-by-side with the grieving families and winning for them maximum recovery for over thirty years. The survivors who are eligible by law to bring the suit for wrongful death are the children, the surviving spouse, and the surviving children of any deceased children of the victim. They can file together separately but most families will come together to file jointly. If the wrongful death victim does not have any available relatives who are part of their direct family as listed above, then the victim’s parents, siblings, children of siblings and then their lineal descendants may have a right to bring the wrongful death lawsuit. You can discuss your personal situation with our law firm to see how your case would move forward.
