There may be no event in your life that is more devastating than the unexpected loss of a loved one, child, sibling, spouse, or parent. When your loved one is killed in an Orange County accident that was caused due to the negligence of another person, however, it only adds to the tragedy of the entire situation. The death of a loved one leaves emotional and material losses, and surviving family members have the right to be fully compensated. Unfortunately, no amount of money or financial compensation can replace your loved one. In a situation such as this, you should speak with an experienced Santa Ana and Anaheim wrongful death lawyer.

While the legal implications of your loved one’s death are likely the furthest thing from your mind right now, it is important that you seek the advice of a skilled personal injury attorney, as you may be entitled to benefits, funeral benefits, and financial compensation. At the Cifarelli Law Firm, in Orange County, California, we will explain your rights and help you take the necessary steps to protect your interests and the interests of your children.

While this will in no way replace your loved one or fill the void left by their departure, it may help you to pick up the pieces and move on from this horrendous tragedy.

  • The loss of training and guidance to his or her children

California Wrongful Death Statute Of Limitations

Under California law, a wrongful death lawsuit has to be filed within 2 years of the date of death (D.O.D.) if death was caused by an auto accident, medical malpractice error, assault, or animal attack. If asbestos was the cause of death, the time frame for filing a fatal accident lawsuit is 1 year from date of death OR 1 year from first knowing. It is not at all a wise move to wait nearly that long, and you should speak with an experienced Santa Ana and Anaheim accidental death attorney immediately to discuss your legal options.
