Understanding California Wrongful Death Law
When a life is lost due to negligence, a wrongful death claim can help a family seek answers under california law. The california code of civil procedure section 377.60 explains who can file and what the case can include.
To start, the law sets out who may file the claim. These are the people the court recognizes as eligible.
- Spouses
- Children
- Parents (if no spouse/children)
- Financial dependents
Most cases must be filed within the statute of limitations of two years from the date of death. A survival action is different because it seeks damages the person could have claimed if they had lived.
Did You Know?
According to the CDC, over 17,000 unintentional injury deaths were reported in California in 2023.
Common Causes of Wrongful Death in Burbank
Families often ask what events can lead to a case in Burbank. The list below shows frequent causes under california law that may support a wrongful death claim.
- Motor vehicle accidents
- Pedestrian accidents
- Medical malpractice
- Workplace accidents

- Truck collisions

Key Steps in Filing a Wrongful Death Claim
The legal process can feel unclear, so we keep each step simple. Our goal is to protect your rights and move your legal claim forward with care.
First, we confirm who can file as the personal representative and define the cause of action. Then we map out the timeline so you know what happens next and why it matters.
- Determine eligibility: We verify who has the legal right to file and identify all proper parties.
- Investigate the cause of death: We collect records, witness accounts, and expert input to support the legal claim.
- Calculate damages: We measure costs, lost income, and the impact on family life in clear numbers.
- File the claim: We submit documents with the insurer or the court and keep track of every deadline.
- Negotiate or go to trial: We push for a fair result, and if needed, we enter the litigation process.
- Manage liens and releases: We address any balances and secure the correct paperwork so funds can be issued.
- Finalize and close: We confirm all terms, deliver the outcome, and explain your next steps.
After these steps, you will know where your case stands and what comes next. We answer questions in direct terms and keep you informed at each stage.
If you have concerns about eligibility, timing, or the path ahead, we can explain your options. Every decision is tied to the facts, the law, and your goals.
Damages Recoverable in a Wrongful Death Case
Families want to know what can be recovered and how it helps. The law allows both economic damages and non-economic damages when a case is proven.
Here are common items the court may consider for financial loss. These focus on the support your family relied on.
Economic Damages
- Medical bills: Costs of care before passing
- Funeral and burial costs: Services and related fees
- Lost wages: Income and benefits the family depended on
These losses do not tell the whole story. The law also recognizes the human side of loss.
Non-Economic Damages
- Pain and suffering: Emotional harm felt by close family
- Loss of love and companionship: The daily bond and support that is now missing
- Loss of household services: Tasks and care the person provided at home
Each item needs clear proof to be included. Records, statements, and expert support can help the court see the full picture.
Wrongful death settlements in California can range from 250,000 dollars to over 5 million dollars depending on the case specifics. Results vary by facts, coverage, and venue, and recent verdict reports can help set fair expectations.
