What Constitutes Wrongful Death in California?
Wrongful death is similar to a personal injury claim, in that it arises from a deliberate or negligent act that injures another person; in this instance, the injury is fatal.
Those close to the deceased are then able to sue for compensation, not for what the deceased person suffered or lost but for their own losses, including:
- The deceased’s medical bills paid by the suing party
- Loss of financial support from the deceased
- Loss of companionship (in the case of a spouse)
- Loss of parental guidance (in the case of a child)

“Haley Law Offices is not only professional, experienced, and knowledgeable, but also extremely trustworthy and dedicated. Matt Haley and his son, Michael Haley, took my claim seriously and were both very attentive, diplomatic, and very helpful in settling my case. Katie, their paralegal, was also very timely and responsive whenever I had to get in touch with their office. I was originally researching for a law firm, and I had contacted Terry Buller. Terry, Matt, Michael, and Katie all worked together to create a most just claim, and we made it through the finish line with flying colors. They take no bull; no ifs, ands, or buts about it! Look no further when hiring a law firm. From start-to-finish, everything was transparent, respectful, organized, and well thought-through. I cannot thank Haley Law Offices enough! Thank you for protecting me and for supporting me throughout the entirety of this matter. Five stars? How about (10)!”- Alison M.
