The loss of a loved one is tragic enough without it having been caused by the negligence or intentional conduct of another, or by a defective or dangerous product. When that occurs, California law affords certain close family members the right to file a suit for the damages suffered, including loss of salary, benefits, companionship, pain and suffering, and other expenses that will have to be borne by the surviving family members.
We understand that contacting an attorney may not be of the utmost importance to you when grieving over the loss of your loved one. However, if you suspect that the death may have been caused by the intentional or negligent conduct of another person, or was the result of a defective or dangerous product, please contact us, as we will be able to compassionately explain to you what rights, if any, you may have.
