26+ Years of Experience as a Wrongful Death Attorney Serving Hacienda Heights

A “wrongful death” is a tragedy that did not have to happen and it’s the heartbreaking loss of a life that could have, and should have been prevented. If a family member has died in Hacienda Heights because another person or organization was negligent, or committed a wrongful or illegal act, you may be able to collect financial damages by filing a wrongful death lawsuit. For instance, in 2015 a 69 year old man killed a young Hacienda Heights couple in a wrongful death incident after failing to stop and causing a collision with the victim’s vehicle. In this case, the family may be eligible to collect by filing a wrongful death claim.

Why File a Wrongful Death Lawsuit?

In many cases, the survivors depended on the deceased person’s income. A wrongful death lawsuit can recover compensation for the deceased person’s future income as well as other damages, including loss of the love and companionship of a spouse or parent. In other cases, survivors pursue wrongful death claims to send a message. They know that money talks. Large verdicts and settlements can encourage the responsible parties to change their ways to avoid similar tragedies for families in the future.
