Woodland Hills Wrongful Death Lawyer

Compassionate Support for Families Affected by Negligence in California

When you experience the loss of a loved one due to the negligent, reckless, or intentional conduct of another party, it is difficult to endure the grieving process. At the Law Offices of Ali Taheripour, we understand the emotional and financial toll of losing a loved one unexpectedly. While no amount of compensation can undo your loss, a successful wrongful death claim may help ease the financial burden and provide a sense of justice.

In California, surviving family members may pursue a wrongful death action under California Code of Civil Procedure (CCP) § 377.60. This type of civil lawsuit is designed to compensate families for the tangible and intangible losses they suffer as a result of their loved one’s death.

The Law Offices of Ali Taheripour, based in California, offers compassionate and experienced legal representation for wrongful death cases involving car accidents, excessive force by law enforcement, premises liability, and other causes. We are here to help you navigate the civil justice system during one of the most difficult times of your life.

We invite you to reach out to our Woodland Hills-based wrongful death attorney for a consultation. Call (818) 629-1121 or contact us online to get started.

Understanding Wrongful Death: What It Means

In legal terms, a wrongful death occurs any time an individual is killed as a result of negligence or the careless, reckless, or intentional actions of another person or entity. 

The most common types of personal injury wrongful deaths are those that result from car accidents, but a personal injury wrongful death is any death that occurs because of the fault or negligence of another party.

Who Is Eligible to File a Wrongful Death Claim in California?

 California law outlines a specific list of individuals who are eligible to bring a wrongful death claim:

• The decedent’s spouse or domestic partner
• The decedent’s children
• The decedent’s parents, especially if dependent
• A legally appointed personal representative of the estate

In some cases, other dependents—such as grandchildren (if the children of the deceased are deceased), siblings, or others financially dependent on the decedent—may also have legal standing under Code of Civil Procedure (CCP) § 377.60.
