What a Wrongful Death Claim Covers
Who can file and what it means for your family
In California, eligible family members—typically a spouse or domestic partner, children, and certain heirs—can bring a wrongful death claim when negligence or intentional conduct causes death. The claim focuses on the family’s losses. A separate survival action, when appropriate, can address the decedent’s pre-death medical bills and, in egregious cases, punitive damages. The Guerrero Firm explains eligibility, timing, and strategy in plain English so you can focus on honoring your loved one.
Where These Cases Come From
Common causes we see across California
Fatal freeway collisions, deadly motorcycle crashes, workplace incidents involving third parties, unsafe premises, dangerous medications or devices, and violent acts pursued civilly. When investigations span multiple insurers or corporations, The Guerrero Firm coordinates experts and evidence to pinpoint liability and build a strong record from the start.
The Damages You Can Pursue
Financial support for today and the years ahead
California law allows recovery for funeral and burial expenses, the loss of expected financial support, the value of household services, and the immeasurable loss of love, companionship, comfort, care, and guidance. We work with economists and life-care experts to value what your family has lost—grounded in evidence and presented with humanity.
How The Guerrero Firm Supports Your Family
Compassionate communication, relentless advocacy
We gather police reports, scene data, medical evidence, and expert analysis to prove fault and the full value of your case. The Guerrero Firm handles insurers while your family grieves—keeping you updated, answering hard questions, and preparing as if trial is inevitable. When a fatal wreck involves a commercial vehicle, our trucking experience helps expand liability and available insurance to pursue maximum recovery.
Questions Families Ask
Clear answers during a difficult time
How is a wrongful death case different from criminal charges?
A civil claim is separate and pursues compensation regardless of whether the state files or wins a criminal case.
Is there a time limit?
Generally two years from the date of death in California—reach out soon so we can investigate and protect deadlines.
How much does it cost?
We work on contingency and advance case costs, so your family pays nothing upfront.
