long beach wrongful death attorney
The victims of a wrongful death are not just those who die. We believe the survivors are also victims and that they deserve compensation for their family member’s death. Indeed, the California Wrongful Death Statutes and Survivor Statutes states that if the death was the result of improper conduct, recklessness, criminal conduct, negligence or inaction of another, the survivors are due monetary damages. Each and every wrongful death case is unique and hard for all the survivors to go through. Since 1979, our firm has been successfully assisting family members with the legal process. Wrongful deaths happen every day as a result of an endless list of accidents and injuries. The most common wrongful death lawsuits in Long Beach are from:
- Motor vehicle accidents including truck accidents, motorcycle accidents, car and auto accidents, boating accidents, rollover accidents and drunk drivers;
- Criminal Conduct and intentional acts such as murder;
- Product defect liability accidents including automobile or truck defect, machine defect, product defect, tire defect, saw defect, or equipment malfunction;
- Work Accidents;
- Slip and Fall – Premises Liability;
- Pedestrian, Crosswalk and Bicycle accidents; and
