California Wrongful Death Lawyers

Compassionate Representation for Families Seeking Justice

Losing a loved one is devastating — especially when their death was caused by someone else’s negligence or wrongdoing. No amount of money can replace the person you’ve lost, but a wrongful death claim can help your family find justice, accountability, and financial security during an unimaginably difficult time.

At Nalbandyan Law Firm, P.C., our experienced California wrongful death attorneys fight for families who have lost loved ones due to preventable accidents, negligence, or misconduct. We’re here to guide you through every step of the legal process with compassion, dignity, and unwavering dedication.

​

What Is a Wrongful Death Claim?

Under California law (Code of Civil Procedure § 377.60), a wrongful death claim may be brought when a person’s death is caused by the wrongful act, neglect, or default of another party.

The purpose of a wrongful death lawsuit is to compensate surviving family members for the financial and emotional harm they’ve suffered because of their loved one’s untimely passing.

​

Who Can File a Wrongful Death Claim in California?

The following individuals are generally eligible to file a wrongful death lawsuit in California:

• The surviving spouse or domestic partner

• The decedent’s children

• Stepchildren or other dependents (in certain circumstances)

• Other relatives who would be entitled to inherit under California’s intestate succession laws

Our attorneys will review your family’s situation and ensure that your claim is filed properly and within the legal time limits.

​

Common Causes of Wrongful Death

We represent families who have lost loved ones in cases involving:

• Motor vehicle accidents (car, truck, motorcycle, or pedestrian crashes)

• Dangerous or defective products

• Medical malpractice

• Construction and workplace accidents

• Premises liability (slip and fall, unsafe property, negligent security)

• Nursing home neglect or abuse

• Criminal acts or intentional misconduct

No matter the cause, our team has the experience and determination to uncover the truth and hold the responsible parties accountable.

​

What Damages Can Be Recovered?

In a California wrongful death case, surviving family members may be entitled to compensation for:

• Funeral and burial expenses

• Loss of financial support the deceased would have provided

• Loss of companionship, love, and emotional support

• Loss of guidance and care

• The value of household services provided by the deceased

In certain cases, the estate may also pursue a survival action to recover medical expenses or damages the decedent could have claimed had they lived.
