Wrongful Death Claims in California

If you’re reeling from the unexpected death of a loved one, we want you to know that you are not alone during this hard time. Backed by 40+ years of combined experience, McGee, Lerer & Associates is here to offer the personal support and legal guidance you need.

If another party is at fault due to negligent or irresponsible behavior, you can file a wrongful death lawsuit to seek justice on behalf of your lost loved one. Wrongful death lawsuits can help a victim’s survivors after:

• Car accidents
• Fatal falls
• Botched medical procedures
• And more

We know that nothing can make up for your loved one’s death, but they deserve justice, and you deserve help. Our team at McGee, Lerer & Associates will give your case personal attention and respect while fighting hard for you in court.

Why Sue for Wrongful Death?

We understand that starting a lawsuit while you’re still grieving may seem too emotionally difficult, or perhaps pointless. After all, nothing can bring your loved one back. Thinking of a future without them can be extremely painful—and that’s why you deserve support. Wrongful death lawsuits help ensure stability for you and your family in the future.

Wrongful Death Compensation

The at-fault party could be required to compensate you for:

• Medical bills incurred in the lead-up to death
• Funeral and burial costs
• Lost income (present and future)
• Forecasted future financial support
• Emotional losses

Filing a wrongful death case can help allay stress about your future. The passing of a family member means the loss of many different kinds of support. If it doesn’t feel like you can continue alone, filing a suit may help you see your next steps.
