04 Take Care of Yourself and Your Family

This is a difficult time emotionally and physically. While we handle the legal process, make sure to lean on your support network and seek any help you need to cope. We are here to carry the legal burden, so you can focus on healing and honoring your loved one’s memory.

Common Causes of Wrongful Death Cases in California

Fatal accidents can happen anywhere, even in places where you least expect them. Some common causes of wrongful death cases we handle include:

Car and Truck Accidents

Reckless driving, distracted texting, or driving under the influence can lead to deadly crashes. Truck accidents are often caused by driver fatigue, poor maintenance, or overloaded cargo. When a loved one dies in these accidents, we fight to hold the responsible parties accountable.

Pedestrian and Motorcycle Accidents

Pedestrians are especially vulnerable when drivers fail to yield or drive too fast. Motorcycle riders face high risks because they’re less visible and protected on the road. If your loved one was lost in one of these tragic accidents, we’re here to seek justice for your family.

Workplace Fatalities

Workplace accidents, especially in construction and industrial jobs, can be sudden and devastating. These incidents often involve safety violations or negligent employers. We help families pursue compensation when a loved one dies on the job.

Medical Malpractice and Defective Products

Sometimes wrongful deaths result from surgical errors, misdiagnosis, or dangerous medical devices. Defective products, like faulty airbags or toxic medications, can also cause fatal injuries. No matter the cause, Babaians Law Firm is ready to stand with you and fight for your rights.

Common Injuries in Wrongful Death Cases

When a wrongful death occurs, it often results from severe and catastrophic injuries. Understanding these common injuries can help you grasp the seriousness of what your loved one endured. At Babaians Law Firm, we handle these difficult cases with care and dedication.

Traumatic Brain Injuries

Many fatal accidents involve serious head trauma that causes irreversible brain damage. These injuries can result from car crashes, falls, or violent impacts. We work to prove how these injuries led to the tragic loss and fight for your family’s rightful compensation.

Internal Organ Damage

Severe accidents often cause life-threatening damage to vital organs like the lungs, liver, or heart. This kind of injury can be hidden and may worsen rapidly after the accident. Our team gathers medical evidence to demonstrate the extent of these injuries in your case.

Multiple Bone Fractures

Broken bones are common in high-impact collisions and can cause intense pain and complications. When fractures are extensive or involve the spine or ribs, they can be fatal. We understand how these injuries affect families and pursue justice aggressively.

Severe Burns and Lacerations

Some wrongful deaths involve serious burns or deep cuts caused by fires, explosions, or sharp objects. These injuries are not only painful but can also lead to fatal infections or complications. Babaians Law Firm will fight to ensure your family receives full compensation for these devastating losses.

Compensation You May Be Entitled To

No amount of money can heal your loss, but pursuing compensation can ease the financial burdens that come with it. You may be entitled to:

• Medical bills incurred before your loved one’s passing
• Funeral and burial expenses
• Lost income and future financial support
• Loss of companionship and emotional support
• Pain and suffering experienced by family members

We fight to maximize your compensation so you can focus on healing and rebuilding your life.

How Fault Is Determined in a California Wrongful Death Case

Understanding who is at fault is a key part of your wrongful death claim. California’s laws allow for shared fault but still protect your right to compensation. Here’s how fault is determined and what Babaians Law Firm does to help:

• California uses a pure comparative negligence rule, so you can recover damages even if your loved one was partly at fault.
• Your compensation will be reduced by the percentage of fault assigned to your family (e.g., 30% fault means you can recover 70%).
• Fault is determined by reviewing police reports, witness statements, medical records, and any available footage.
• At Babaians Law Firm, we handle the investigation and fight to prove the responsible party’s liability for the best possible outcome.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Who can file a wrongful death claim in California?

In California, certain family members are legally allowed to file a wrongful death claim. This typically includes the spouse, domestic partner, children, and sometimes parents of the deceased. If no immediate family exists, a personal representative of the estate may also file. If you’re unsure about your eligibility, Babaians Law Firm can help clarify your rights and guide you through the process.

2. How long do I have to file a wrongful death claim in California?

California law sets strict deadlines, called statutes of limitations, for filing wrongful death claims. Generally, you have two years from the date of your loved one’s death to file a claim. Missing this deadline can prevent you from recovering any compensation. At Babaians Law Firm, we urge you to contact us promptly so we can protect your family’s rights.

3. What types of damages can I recover in a wrongful death case?

You may be entitled to compensation for both economic and non-economic damages. This can include medical bills, funeral expenses, lost income, and future financial support. Non-economic damages cover pain and suffering, loss of companionship, and emotional distress. Our team at Babaians Law Firm works tirelessly to maximize all forms of compensation for your family.

4. Why should I hire a wrongful death lawyer instead of handling the case myself?

Wrongful death cases involve complex legal rules and often pit families against powerful insurance companies. Without experienced legal representation, you risk receiving less compensation or having your claim denied. Babaians Law Firm has the knowledge and resources to investigate thoroughly and fight aggressively for your rights. We provide compassionate support so you can focus on healing while we handle the legal battle.
