Palm Springs Wrongful Death Attorney
Losing a close loved one such as a spouse, child or parent is never easy,
especially when you know that if another person had not been negligent,
your loved one would still be alive. While little can be done to alleviate
the grief people must go through after a wrongful death has occurred,
many things can be done to ensure that families remain financially stable.
The truth is, aside from dealing with the emotional after-effects of wrongful
deaths, families must also deal with financial hardships. From paying
for unexpected funerals to covering deceased loved ones' medical bills,
wrongful deaths can be quite costly for family members. In the state of
California, if families can prove that their loved ones' deaths were caused
by other peoples' negligence, family members may file wrongful death claims,
which may allow them to recover compensation from negligent parties.
