Finding Justice and Healing After a Wrongful Death in California

Few experiences in life are as painful as losing someone you love — especially when that loss was preventable. When another person or company’s negligence causes a death, California law allows surviving family members to pursue justice through a wrongful death claim.

At California Trial Law Group, we know that no amount of money can replace a loved one. However, pursuing a wrongful death case can provide families with the resources they need to move forward — and hold negligent parties accountable. Led by Attorney Ike Kaludi, our team combines compassion and legal strength to help families find justice and healing after tragedy.

What Is a Wrongful Death Claim?

A wrongful death claim arises when someone’s negligent, reckless, or intentional act causes another person’s death. These cases can stem from:

  • Car, truck, or motorcycle accidents
  • Medical malpractice
  • Workplace accidents
  • Defective products
  • Premises liability incidents
  • Acts of violence or criminal negligence

The goal of a wrongful death lawsuit is not revenge — it’s accountability. Families can recover damages for lost income, funeral expenses, emotional suffering, and the loss of companionship.

Seeking Justice After a Tragic Loss

Families who have experienced the sudden loss of a loved one often feel lost, angry, and uncertain about what to do next. Understanding seeking justice after a tragic loss and how California Trial Law Group is here to support you is the first step toward healing.

Our attorneys provide clear guidance and compassionate support throughout the legal process, helping you focus on grieving and rebuilding while we handle the legal fight.

At California Trial Law Group, we take on every detail — from investigating the cause of death to negotiating with insurers and preparing cases for trial when necessary.

Who Can File a Wrongful Death Claim in California

California law allows specific family members or dependents to bring a wrongful death claim, including:

  • Spouses or domestic partners
  • Children or stepchildren
  • Parents or legal guardians
  • Financial dependents of the deceased

Each family’s situation is unique, and our team helps determine who has the legal right to pursue compensation and how to maximize the recovery for all involved.
