WHAT DAMAGES CAN BE RECOVERED FOR WRONGFUL DEATH?

California’s wrongful death statute, California Civil Procedure Code § 377.60, authorizes a deceased person’s family members or their personal representative to bring a wrongful death suit if the death was a result of a “wrongful act” or “negligence.” You will want to consult with a wrongful death attorney in Los Angeles prior to bringing a suit in order to ensure that you have standing to bring the suit on your loved one’s behalf.

Wrongful death damages are intended to compensate the decedent’s heirs for the loss of emotional and financial support that they reasonably could have expected to receive from the decedent over his/her life expectancy. These damages include:

ECONOMIC LOSSES

Funeral and burial expenses
Financial support that the decedent would have contributed to his/her heirs over the course of their lifetime
Gifts or benefit that the heirs would have expected to receive over the course of the decedent’s lifetime
Reasonable value of household services that the decedent would have provided

NON-ECONOMIC LOSSES

Loss of love, companionship, comfort, care, assistance, protection, affection, society and moral support
Loss of training and guidance
Loss of sexual relations by the decedent’s spouse

No fixed standard exists for deciding the amount of noneconomic damages. In arriving at an amount, the jury is instructed to use their judgment to decide a reasonable amount based on the evidence and their common sense. In order to ensure you are fully compensated for all of your losses, you’ll want to consult with one of our experienced wrongful death attorneys in Los Angeles.

WHAT IS THE STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS FOR WRONGFUL DEATH IN CALIFORNIA?

California Civil Procedure Code § 335.1 sets forth the statute of limitations for a wrongful death suit in California, which is two years from the date of death.

  A couple years back I had a issue with a former employer (automotive shop) where they did not want to pay me the correct amount of hourly pay for a Mecanic providing his own tools. After getting fed up with them I looked online and found Mr Pimentel only about 30 mins away from me so I decided to call him. He actually answered directly and right away and as I explained everything he seemed to be very very familiar with this certain loophole shops try and weasel them selves out of paying their technicians the correct amount. I actually didn't even meet up with him face to face all was over the phone and you could tell he knew what we had here and knew was one of these crooked shops. Eventually met him in person and you can tell the guy knows his stuff. Very proffesional very focused very serious about his craft. Shop fought and fought trying to again weasel out of it Mr Pimentel didn't let it happen and kept pushing with me for me SPM the way to the end till we came out winning. I was more than pleased with the outcome. I wasn't out for a unfair pay day I just wanted what was rightfully owed to me given to me I got that and a little more which I think is more than fair after all working in a shop setting and putting in years of hard manual labor long long hours tons of stressfull days and just to get burnt by your own employer yeah I don't think so. If anyone wants a honest professional lawyer that's gonna go all in give Mr Pimentel a try and worry not your in very good hands! Thanks again Mr Pimentel. God bless.

  I feel finding Pimental Law was a blessing in disguise. Gabriel Pimentel was not only informative, he guided me through steps I needed to take to increase my chances of a positive outcome. I loved the fact he kept me updated on my case and responded back within a reasonable amount of time to address questions I had about about my case. It was a nice feeling to know that I could actually talk to Mr. Pimentel himself and or my assigned attorney that works under him vs being always directed to a secretary which has been my pass experiences with other law firms. I find Pimentel Law VERY PROFESSIONAL and have never doubted their practice. I feel fortunate to have had Pimentel Law represent me. If I was to have any other future concerns regarding a projected law suite, I would definitely, give Pimentel Law a call back. I was pleased with my outcome on my case.

  Pimentel Law is fabulous. They helped me when I didn't know where to turn. They are very professional and get the job done. Bruce Murry was instrumental in taking care of my case. I highly recommend him and the office of Pimentel Law.
