Who Can File a Wrongful Death Claim?
A wrongful death lawsuit must be filed by a representative who suffered harm from the decedent’s death. These survivors are called “real parties in interest.”
Such parties include:
- Spouses or Partners
- Immediate family members
Anyone financially dependent upon the deceased (includes extended family and a minor who can prove that he or she was under the care of the deceased at the time of death)
Statute of Limitations
Under California law, survivors of the victim have exactly 2 years following the accident to file a wrongful death suit in court. With such a short window, it is essential that you contact a reputable law firm and file a wrongful death lawsuit as soon as possible.
