Common Causes of Wrongful Death in San Francisco

In San Francisco, a city marked by its steep hills and dense traffic, wrongful deaths may occur in various ways:

2. Pedestrian accidents: in crosswalk-heavy districts like the Mission and Downtown.
3. Defective product claims: involving consumer or industrial equipment.
4. Workplace Accidents: San Francisco is home to a multitude of industries, from tech companies to construction, each with their own unique workplace hazards.
5. Medical Malpractice: Even with its world-class healthcare institutions like UCSF and Sutter Health, instances of medical negligence in San Francisco can unfortunately lead to wrongful death.
6. Violent Crimes: Despite the city's best efforts to enhance public safety, wrongful deaths can still result from violent crimes.
7. Police misconduct: involving excessive force or negligence.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How long do I have to file a wrongful death claim in San Francisco?

In California, you typically have two years from the date of death to file a wrongful death lawsuit. However, exceptions may apply depending on the circumstances, so it’s best to consult a qualified attorney as soon as possible.

What types of compensation are available in a wrongful death case?

Eligible survivors may recover compensation for funeral and burial costs, lost financial support, loss of companionship, and the deceased’s pain and suffering through a survival action.

Who can file a wrongful death lawsuit in California?

The decedent’s spouse, domestic partner, or children have the primary right to file. If none exist, others financially dependent on the deceased—such as stepchildren or parents—may be eligible.

How is wrongful death different from a survival action?

A wrongful death claim seeks compensation for the family’s loss, while a survival action allows the decedent’s estate to recover damages for what the deceased suffered before death, such as medical expenses or lost wages.
