Paul D. Van Der Walde - Founder
The death of a relative or loved one is a very difficult and emotional situation, but for a loved one to suffer an untimely death as the result of another person’s negligence or carelessness is extremely upsetting. If your loved one was fatally injured due to another person’s negligent actions, he or she has been the victim of a wrongful death. As a relative of a wrongful death victim, you have the right to file a wrongful death lawsuit against the negligent party and hold that person responsible for their reprehensible actions. A wrongful death may result from countless situations, and some more common wrongful death situations are listed below:
- Auto, pedestrian and motorcycle accidents
- Dangerous and defective product accident
- Drunk driver accident victim
- Firearm negligence or carelessness
- Nursing home abuse
- Traumatic head injury
- Unsupervised swimming accident
In the State of California the statute of limitations (the time in which a person may file a lawsuit) regarding a wrongful death is typically two years from the time of death, with a few exceptions.
A wrongful death case involves areas of law that are very complex, which is why you should hire an experienced wrongful death attorney from Van Der Walde & Associates to represent your case. Our wrongful death lawyers may be able to recover for you monetary compensation related to the loss of your loved one.
