What Is a Wrongful Death Claim?
A wrongful death claim is a civil lawsuit filed when someone’s death is caused by another person’s negligence, carelessness, or intentional act. The purpose of this claim is to help surviving family members recover financial compensation for the losses and hardships caused by their loved one’s passing.
Common causes of wrongful death include:
Car, truck, and motorcycle accidents
Rideshare or pedestrian collisions
Workplace and construction accidents
Dangerous property conditions or premises liability
Medical malpractice or nursing home neglect
Defective products or equipment failures
Our California wrongful death attorney s can help determine who is responsible, collect evidence, and handle all legal matters while your family focuses on healing.
Who Can File a Wrongful Death Claim in California?
Under California law, certain relatives may be eligible to file a wrongful death lawsuit, including:
The surviving spouse or domestic partner
Children or stepchildren of the deceased
Parents, siblings, or other dependents if there is no surviving spouse or child
Every case is unique, and the wrongful death attorneys at the Law Offices of Chance Pardon can help identify who has the right to file based on your family’s circumstances.
What Damages Can Be Recovered in a Wrongful Death Case?
While nothing can replace the person you lost, financial compensation can help ease the burden that often follows such a tragedy.
Damages may include:
Funeral and burial expenses
Medical costs related to the final injury or illness
Loss of income and financial support
Loss of companionship, care, and guidance
Emotional pain and suffering
Our California wrongful death attorneys will evaluate the full impact of your loss to ensure your family receives fair and meaningful compensation.

Proven Experience in Wrongful Death Claims
We have represented families across California in complex and emotional wrongful death cases. Our team combines legal skill with compassion to deliver justice and accountability for your loss.
Personalized Representation
We take the time to listen to your story and understand what your family needs most. You will work directly with your attorney, not a case manager, and we will keep you informed at every stage.
No Fees Unless We Win
Our firm operates on a contingency fee basis. That means you pay nothing unless we recover compensation for your family.
Commitment to Compassion and Justice
We approach every case with empathy and integrity, working tirelessly to achieve justice for those who have been wronged.
How Long Do I Have to File a Wrongful Death Claim in California?
In most cases, families have two years from the date of death to file a wrongful death lawsuit. If the case involves a government entity, the deadline is much shorter. Acting quickly helps preserve crucial evidence and gives your attorney time to build the strongest possible claim.
How long does a wrongful death case take to resolve?
The timeline for a wrongful death case depends on the complexity of the situation and whether the insurance company or defendant is willing to settle. Some cases can be resolved in several months, while others may take longer if litigation is necessary. At the Law Offices of Chance Pardon, our priority is to move your case forward efficiently while ensuring your family receives the full compensation you deserve. Having an experienced California wrongful death attorney on your side can help prevent unnecessary delays and keep the process on track.
