What Damages are Awarded in a Wrongful Death Lawsuit in Long Beach?

The "next of kin" of the decedent will receive damages awarded in a wrongful death claim and they include spouses, domestic partners, children, parents or siblings, in order of priority. A claimant may recover the following in a successful case:

  • Medical and funeral expenses
  • Loss of decedent's income
  • Loss of household support
  • Loss of child-rearing support
  • Loss of decedent's benefits
  • Other economic and noneconomic damages that result from the death of the decedent

If there are multiple recipients of awarded damages, they must determine amongst themselves how the amount is divided; otherwise, another trial may be necessitated.

What are the Most Common Types of Wrongful Death Cases?

The liable party in a wrongful death case can be an individual, a company, or even a government entity, depending on the circumstances. The most common wrongful death cases include the following:

  • Car Accidents
  • Construction Accidents
  • Slip and Fall
  • Defective Products
  • Medical Malpractice
  • Intentional Acts of Violence (assault and battery, murder, etc.)

Like with any other civil suit, the claimant must prove that his or her loved one died as a result of the liable party's actions, or lack of action. Material evidence and testimony are often needed to accomplish this, especially if the liable party disputes the claim.
