How Can A Gilroy Wrongful Death Lawyer Help My Family?
Our attorneys represent you in filing a wrongful death claim, a survivorship action, or both, depending on the circumstances surrounding your loved one’s accident. We evaluate your situation and explain what is possible under California law. Then, we build a strong case of negligence against the at-fault party and demand that they pay fair compensation for your material losses, the loss of financial contribution your loved one made to your family, and consideration for your trauma and anguish. Our firm has access to many resources that an average person may not, including investigators, expert witnesses, and forensic accountants (to properly value your claim and the economic impact on your family).
We handle all communications with the other party on your behalf so your family can grieve in private. We also file all the legal paperwork and respond to motions from the other party. Whether we settle your case out of court or take it to trial, we never lose sight of our goal: your family’s rights.
Negligence-Based Deaths And Your Family’s Rights
Wrongful deaths can happen in any number of ways, such as:
- Medical malpractice
- Vehicle accident
- Contaminated or malfunctioning consumer product
- Animal attack or dog mauling
- Workplace accident
- Assault or malicious action
The common denominator in all these situations is that the defendant had a duty of care for your loved one’s safety but abandoned that care, causing their death.
Not every accidental death can be considered a wrongful death, though. Sometimes, accidents simply happen. An attorney with experience discerning negligence from a tragic accident can help you better understand your rights and the options open to you.
