Wrongful Death Is a Separate Category
In tragic cases, accidental injuries can lead to a person’s death. When this happens, certain members of the decedent’s family may be able to take legal action.
According to the California Code of Civil Procedure (CCP) §337.60, the following individuals may be eligible to file a wrongful death claim or lawsuit:
- The decedent’s spouse or domestic partner
- The decedent’s children
- The decedent’s parents or legal guardians
If the decedent had a putative spouse, they might also be eligible to file a wrongful death claim or lawsuit under certain circumstances.
You Can Receive Compensation for All of Your Losses
Personal injury cases allow injured parties to demand compensation for the losses they experienced as a result of someone’s negligence. These losses may involve direct injuries as well as their financial consequences.
Depending on what is involved in your case, you may demand compensation for:
- Medical expenses: treatment costs and prescription medicine costs
- Property damage: to repair or replace damaged property, such as a car or boat
- Income loss: wages you have lost up to the current moment and wages you will lose until your injuries heal
- Reduced earning capacity: if your injuries affected your working abilities, either temporarily or permanently
- Diminished quality of life: if your injuries are expected to be long-term or permanent
- Pain and suffering: applicable to both physical and emotional pain you experienced
If you decide to work with a Redondo Beach personal injury lawyer from Jacoby & Meyers Law Offices, we may be able to help you calculate other damages not listed in this section.
Losses Related to a Loved One’s Wrongful Death
If you are filing a wrongful death claim or lawsuit, you may request compensation for the following types of damages:
- Funeral expenses: including costs for burial or cremation services
- Loss of your loved one’s income: if they financially supported you and/or your family
- Loss of support: possibly available to spouses and children

Do Not Forget to File Your Personal Injury Case on Time
One of the first questions your legal team may ask might be, “Do you know the date when you got injured?”
This is an important detail to determine because it sets the deadline for your personal injury lawsuit. In general, CCP §335.1 gives you two years from the date of your injury to sue.
For wrongful death lawsuits, the deadline is generally two years from your loved one’s date of death.
If your case involves a crash or incident report, your lawyer may review this document to determine the statutory deadline assigned to your case. If your case is more nuanced, such as a defective product case, you might need to refer to your medical records to determine when you discovered that your illness was related to the defective product. Date of discovery may also apply in certain medical malpractice cases.
