Wrongful Death

When people die because others were negligent, they are said to have died a wrongful death.

If someone was killed in a car accident, for example, the other driver may have been negligent if he or she was talking on a cell phone and not paying attention to driving.

A fatal construction accident could be caused by the manufacturer who sold a defective product, such as a power tool without proper safety shielding, or by another worker who was using drugs or alcohol on the job.

In cases of wrongful death, the survivors have the right to be compensated for the loss of their loved one, including funeral expenses, loss of potential future income, and his or her medical expenses and pain and suffering before death.

No amount of money can ever make up for such a devastating loss, but money is the only remedy the law allows. At Shernoff Bidart Darras & Echeverria LLP, our Southern California wrongful death claims attorneys will protect your legal rights and help you recover the compensation you deserve.

Whether your loved one was a victim of medical malpractice, died in a car accident or fatal construction accident, you can rely on our skilled and compassionate attorneys to handle your case effectively.

We will thoroughly investigate your case, gathering medical reports, accident reports, police reports and evidence, as necessary. We will interview witnesses and hire experts, as necessary. We will identify the responsible parties and attempt to negotiate a fair settlement. Because the insurance companies know and respect our courtroom skills, most of our cases settle outside of court. If a fair settlement is not forthcoming, however, we will go to trial to make certain you receive the maximum amount of compensation you deserve. Because we have more than 35 years of experience and are one of the nation's leading insurance law firms, we understand what your case is worth and we won't advise you to settle for anything less.
