Who Can File a Wrongful Death Claim?

California's wrongful death laws allow certain heirs to file a wrongful death claim. These heirs include a spouse, children, dependent stepchildren and dependent parents. If none of these relatives exist, other family members are permitted to file a claim, including non-dependent parents, siblings, and grandparents.

In addition to this law, the statute of limitations in a wrongful death lawsuit is two years from the date of your loved one's death, so it is important to act quickly. Our wrongful death attorneys will evaluate your unique situation and determine who is qualified to bring a wrongful death suit.
