Take the Wrongful Death Claim to a Bay Area Lawyer who is Honest and Aggressive

A wrongful death lawyer is needed when someone dies because of someone else's carelessness or wrongdoing. This could be a person, a group, or a company. In many cases, relatives, beneficiaries, and others may be able to get money. These damages serve a lot of different purposes. For more than just compensating for lost wages and lifetime earnings, they can also be used to help with emotional pain and suffering, and they can be used as a penalty to try to stop something like this from happening again. As part of your settlement, you can also use it to pay for things like medical bills and funeral and burial costs.

The following are some examples of wrongful death lawsuits:

• Emergency room and general medical malpractice

• Motor vehicle accidents including those related to texting while driving

• Drunk driving accidents

• Deaths as the result of faulty equipment or products

• Workplace related fatalities

• Fatalities as the result of unsafe premises

• Homicide or intentional violence leading to death

• Healthcare provider negligence

The state of California has a statute of limitations for wrongful death claims, but it doesn't say how long. Most of the time, you must file your claim within two years of when the victim was killed. If you have a government claim, like a car accident with a San Francisco City vehicle or a case of medical malpractice at a government hospital, you have to file it within six months. Because of this, it is very important that you get in touch with a Bay Area lawyer as soon as possible to make sure your claim is filed in the right way.

Again, we know that there is no amount of money that can bring your loved one back. There is still a chance that we will not be able to get you all that is rightfully yours. For example, we will fight to get you the money you deserve for what the deceased earned, what you lost because of your emotional pain and suffering, and any expenses you had because of the death or injury of your loved one.
