Serious Injuries
Serious injuries can be far costlier than victims and their families anticipate. In addition to the medical bills and loss of income on the part of the accident victims, it is often necessary for a loved one to quit their job in order to act as a fulltime caregiver. And the lifetime costs can easily be in the millions of dollars.
Wrongful Death Claims
Cases involving fatal accidents are very complex. There are actually two different claims which may be appropriate. A wrongful death claim compensates specific loved one for the losses they suffer as a result of the death. Wrongful death beneficiaries in California, can include:
- Spouse or domestic partner
- Children
- Dependent minors who lived in the same household
- Dependent parents
Others may be eligible for wrongful death compensation depending on the circumstances.
In cases where the accident victim was not immediately killed in the accident, a survival action may also be appropriate. This type of action pays the estate of the decedent for the expenses and losses incurred as a result of the accident before death, as well as any punitive damages.
These are not issues you need to sort out on your own. Fresno wrongful death attorney, Curtis Floyd, will explain how it works in your unique case and handle the details for you.
