Fatal Car Accidents and Wrongful Death Claims in California
Losing a loved one in a fatal car accident is a profound tragedy that leaves families grappling with grief, confusion, and financial uncertainty. In California, when a death is caused by another person’s negligence—such as reckless or impaired driving—the surviving family members may be entitled to file a wrongful death claim.
What is a Wrongful Death Claim?
A wrongful death claim allows certain family members—such as a spouse, domestic partner, children, or other financial dependents—to seek compensation for their loss. This includes damages for:
- Funeral and burial expenses
- Loss of financial support
- Loss of companionship, love, and guidance
- Emotional pain and suffering (in some survival actions)
Who Can Be Held Liable?
In fatal car accident cases, liable parties may include:
- Negligent drivers (including those who were intoxicated, distracted, or speeding)
- Employers of drivers (in the case of commercial vehicles)
- Government agencies (for unsafe road conditions)
- Vehicle manufacturers (if a defect contributed to the crash)
Why You Need Legal Representation
Wrongful death claims can be complex and emotionally draining. Our firm ensures that families receive the compassionate guidance and aggressive legal representation they need. We investigate the accident, work with experts to establish fault and damages, and handle negotiations or litigation with the at-fault party’s insurance company.
Maximizing Your Compensation
Insurance companies often attempt to minimize payouts. We work tirelessly to recover full compensation, which may include:
- Medical bills related to the accident
- Property damage
- Lost wages and earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
For families pursuing a wrongful death claim, we also pursue the full spectrum of non-economic damages, including emotional and relational loss.

Frequently Asked Questions About Car Accidents in California
Who can file a wrongful death claim after a fatal car accident in California?
In California, eligible claimants include the deceased person’s spouse, children, domestic partner, or anyone entitled to inherit under intestate succession, such as parents or siblings. Financial dependents may also qualify under certain conditions.
What damages can be recovered after a car accident wrongful death?
Recoverable damages include funeral and burial costs, loss of financial support, medical expenses incurred before death, and emotional losses like companionship and guidance.
How long do I have to file a wrongful death claim after a car accident in California?
The statute of limitations is generally two years from the date of the person’s death. Failing to file within this period may permanently bar you from recovering compensation.
Can I still recover compensation if the deceased was partially at fault?
Yes. California follows pure comparative negligence, which means compensation is reduced by the deceased’s percentage of fault—but you can still recover damages.
How can a car accident attorney help after a fatal crash?
An experienced car accident attorney investigates the incident, gathers evidence, handles insurance negotiations, files legal paperwork, and, if necessary, represents you in court to maximize your recovery.
