Los Angeles Wrongful Death Lawyer
Los Angeles is a vibrant and exciting place to live. There are things to see and do at all hours, but with all of that variety, there are, unfortunately, dangers to you and your family. Los Angeles traffic is one such hazard of Southern California living that leaves people injured and in the most tragic cases can claim lives.
Other potentially fatal hazards around Los Angeles can be found at the beach or at a theme park. Walking into a local restaurant and store may pose potentially fatal hazards. Workplace accidents also put our loved ones at risk.
The negligence of another driver, an employer, or a company or corporation could threaten the life of you or a family member. When the carelessness of someone else robs us of our loved ones, a wrongful death claim is often the most effective way to hold an at-fault party responsible. This claim protects families against the harmful financial effects of a tragic accident.

Wrongful Death Hazards in Los Angeles
If we think about the hazards we face daily in Los Angeles at all, we usually envision something happening when we leave our homes. That’s certainly where the majority of dangers lurk, but there are also hazards at home that can claim a life in a tragic moment.
From freeway accidents to worksite dangers these are just a few of the types of personal injury cases we help families with:
- Freeway and Street Traffic – Los Angeles is known for its dangerous drivers and extreme rush hours. Drivers, passengers, motorcyclists, pedestrians, and cyclists lose their lives every week to careless and reckless drivers. The news of a lost loved one could come in an unexpected phone call and it’s important to hold the car insurance companies that back motorists accountable to protect a family as they grieve.
- Rideshare and Delivery Accidents – Drivers for companies like Uber and DoorDash drive the streets 24 hours a day. They add to the traffic levels and they are often distracted by their jobs as they drive. California’s thriving industries also send large vans and big rigs out on the road each day to move heavy loads. An impact from one of these vehicles can easily claim a life and families must be ready to hold the companies that employ these drivers responsible.
- Trip-And-Fall and Premises Liability Injuries – A business owner or company inviting you onto their property must also protect you throughout your visit. Grocery and big box stores, government buildings, and apartment buildings are just a few of the locations under premises liability laws. If a loved one takes a deadly fall or is killed in any sort of accident on someone else’s property, owners and corporations can be held completely liable.
- Workplace Accidents – Offices and other workplaces can provide dangerous electrocution and slip-and-fall threats. Construction and farm work are two of the most dangerous professions. Employers should be held accountable when they provide unsafe working conditions.
- Sports, Recreation, and Theme Park Injuries – Participants in sports leagues could receive fatal injuries when proper safety equipment isn’t provided or a field isn’t maintained correctly. A fatal accident at a theme park, or smaller fun park, or during any other recreational activity could earn support for families even when a waiver form was signed.
- Product Liability – Other potentially fatal hazards around Los Angeles include items we bring into our homes. A defective appliance or a harmful chemical might fatally harm a close relative. Manufacturers, retailers, and installation companies should be held liable.
- Medical Malpractice – A misdiagnosis, a mistake during surgery, or a pharmaceutical error can lead to a wrongful death claim and earn compensation for families left to mourn the loss of a loved one.
What Our Clients Say
Support for Families Who Have Lost a Loved One
A spouse, children, and step-children can hope to recover the financial support they’ve lost due to a tragic event. A member of the family can file a wrongful death lawsuit on behalf of the rest of the family.
A personal injury lawyer can also handle this filing and investigate the circumstances of a loved one’s death. This process would produce evidence and testimony to build a strong case against the at-fault party and greatly increase the chances the party would be forced to provide help to the affected family.
A wrongful death claim could earn financial support for close relatives left behind. These are a few of the factors that would determine how much support family members could receive:
- Funeral and Burial Costs.
- Lost income. The financial support a loved one can no longer provide the family through employment. This includes the financial hardships the family will face in the future.
- Lost care and guidance. The emotional support and counsel those left behind, especially a spouse and children, won’t be able to draw upon in the years to come. This can include the loss of protection and affection. Mental anguish suffered by close relatives can increase the level of support they’ll receive.
- Emergency Response Fees. The costs of ambulance care and other fees associated with an accident.
- Medical costs. Any hospital bills acquired before the deceased passed on.
