California Wrongful Death Attorneys

Losing a loved one is devastating—especially when their death was caused by someone else’s negligence, recklessness, or misconduct. At Compass Law Center, LLP, we help families pursue justice and financial recovery through wrongful death claims under California law. While no amount of compensation can replace your loss, holding the responsible party accountable can help provide closure and financial security for the future.

Under California’s wrongful death statute, certain family members may file a civil lawsuit to recover damages for the loss of a loved one’s life. These claims can be complex, and insurance companies often act quickly to minimize their liability. Our attorneys are here to protect your rights, investigate your claim, and stand by your side throughout the process.

Common Causes of Wrongful Death

• Motor vehicle accidents (cars, motorcycles, trucks, pedestrians)
• Medical malpractice (surgical errors, misdiagnosis, ER negligence)
• Anesthesia errors
• Defective or dangerous products
• Workplace accidents
• Premises liability (slip and fall, unsafe property)
• Criminal acts or intentional harm

Who Can File a Wrongful Death Claim in California?

Eligible parties generally include the decedent’s spouse, children, or domestic partner. If none are available, other dependents such as parents or stepchildren may have standing to bring a claim. We will guide you through eligibility, probate issues, and potential survival actions on behalf of the estate.

Damages You May Be Entitled To

• Funeral and burial expenses
• Loss of the decedent’s future income and financial support
• Loss of companionship, love, and guidance
• Medical bills incurred prior to death (in survival actions)
• Pain and suffering of surviving family members

At Compass Law Center, we understand the sensitive nature of these cases. We are committed to advocating for your family with compassion, diligence, and respect.
