Losing a loved one is never easy, and when their death is the result of someone else's negligence or intentional actions, it can be even more devastating. In California, family members who have lost a loved one due to wrongful death may be entitled to seek justice through a wrongful death lawsuit. But who exactly can file such a lawsuit? In this blog post, we will explore the criteria for filing a wrongful death lawsuit in California and how All Day Law, APC can assist the California public with personal injury matters.

In California, only certain individuals are allowed to file a wrongful death lawsuit. These individuals include the deceased person's surviving spouse or domestic partner, children, grandchildren (if the deceased person's children are also deceased), and other minors who were dependent on the deceased person for at least 50% of their financial support. Additionally, if there are no surviving individuals in the above categories, then anyone who would be entitled to the deceased person's property under California law may file a wrongful death lawsuit.

It is important to note that there is a strict statute of limitations for filing a wrongful death lawsuit in California. Generally, the lawsuit must be filed within two years of the date of the deceased person's death. Failure to file within this time frame may result in your case being dismissed by the court. This is why it is crucial to seek legal assistance as soon as possible if you believe you have grounds for filing a wrongful death lawsuit.
