Understanding Wrongful Death Claims

When a loved one dies, a normal reaction is to feel that your friend or family member was taken from you unfairly and far too soon. Unfortunately, sometimes this is exactly what happens. Some deaths are the result of negligence or fault by another person or entity. In such cases as these, the survivors are entitled to bring a wrongful death lawsuit against the person or entity believed to be responsible for the death.

If you believe a loved one’s passing was the direct result of fault or negligence, contact a wrongful death attorney in San Jose to discuss your legal options. A lawyer may be able to help your family receive compensation for your loss, including funeral expenses, lost wages, lost companionship, and so forth. Wrongful death claims involve all types of fatal accidents, so don’t hesitate to contact an attorney if you believe your loved one’s death was caused by the negligence of others.
