Can You File a Wrongful Death Claim?
You may qualify to file a wrongful death claim if you lost a loved one due to someone else’s negligence or misconduct. Generally, California allows you to file this type of claim as the heir to the deceased or as the personal representative to the estate of your loved one.
Note that just because you file a claim, you may not qualify to receive compensation for the damages associated with a fatal accident. Instead, California allows multiple people to receive funds from the at-fault party.
For example, you may take part in a claim if you lost your:
- Spouse or domestic partner
- Parent
- Grandparent
You may also have a valid claim as an eligible heir if you were financially dependent on the deceased.
