When that loss is caused by the negligence or wrongful act of another, the grief is often compounded by anger, confusion, and a search for answers. While no amount of money can ever replace your family member, a wrongful death claim can provide a measure of justice and the financial stability your family needs for the future. At Cohen & Marzban, our compassionate Encino wrongful death attorneys understand the profound pain you are experiencing. We are here to provide the supportive and expert legal guidance you need during this incredibly difficult time, handling the legal burdens so you can focus on healing. ## Seeking Justice and Accountability A wrongful death lawsuit serves two primary purposes. First, it is a powerful tool to hold the responsible parties accountable for their actions, which can bring a sense of closure and help ensure similar tragedies are prevented in the future. Second, it provides essential financial support for the surviving family members who depended on the deceased for income, support, and companionship. Our role is to handle the legal complexities with sensitivity and determination, allowing your family to focus on what matters most. ## Who Can File a Wrongful Death Claim in California? In California, the right to file a wrongful death claim is reserved for specific family members who have suffered directly from the loss, typically in this order: - The surviving spouse or domestic partner - Surviving children - If there are no surviving members in the immediate family line, the claim may pass to others who would be entitled to the deceased's property by intestate succession (such as parents or siblings) ## Damages We Recover for Your Family Our goal is to secure a settlement or verdict that reflects the full scope of your family's devastating loss. While no outcome can undo the harm and loss you’ve experienced, compensation is designed to provide for your future and acknowledge your suffering. This can include: - **Economic damages:** Such as the loss of the deceased's expected lifetime earnings and financial support, as well as the costs of funeral and burial expenses. - **Non-economic damages:** For the immense and personal loss of the deceased's love, companionship, comfort, care, affection, and guidance.

However, evidence can disappear and memories can fade. California also has strict deadlines for filing claims. Contacting an attorney early allows us to preserve crucial evidence and protect your family's legal rights while you focus on grieving. - We are grieving. Why should we think about a lawsuit now? In most cases, the statute of limitations to file a wrongful death lawsuit is two years from the date of your loved one's death. It is critical to speak with an attorney well before this deadline approaches. - How long do we have to file a wrongful death claim in California? A wrongful death claim compensates the surviving family members for their own losses (lost support, loss of companionship). A survival action is a separate claim filed on behalf of the deceased's estate to recover damages the deceased themselves could have claimed had they survived (like medical bills and lost wages before their death). We can help you pursue both if applicable. - What is the difference between a wrongful death claim and a survival action? There are absolutely no upfront costs. We handle all wrongful death cases on a contingency fee basis. This means you get expert legal representation, but you pay no legal fees unless and until we win your case. - How much does it cost to hire a wrongful death lawyer? ## *Compassionate Guidance, Powerful Advocacy* During this time of immense grief, taking legal action may feel overwhelming.
