Wrongful Death Cases Our Calabasas Wrongful Death Attorneys Represent

Wrongful deaths are often attributed to accidents, but it is generally the reckless and negligent actions of others that are to blame. Under Section 377.60 of the California Code, surviving family members can get a sense of justice for their loved ones and compensation for the funeral expenses and other losses they suffer through a wrongful death claim. At Harris Personal Injury Lawyers, we understand what a difficult time this is for you and your family. Between the practical matters that must be dealt with and the grief you are experiencing, you need someone acting as a strong, trusted legal advocate on your side. Our Calabasas wrongful death attorneys are dedicated to helping people in this situation get the compensation they deserve. Cases we represent include:

• Motor vehicle accidents involving cars, trucks, or motorcycles;
• Bicycle and pedestrian accidents;
• Uber and Lyft accidents;
• Public transit accidents, such as those involving buses, trains, or airlines;
• Premises liability cases, such as slips, falls, and getting struck by or against objects;
• Recreational or sports-related accidents;
• Product liability claims;
• Fatal accidents involving acts of violence.

Who Is Responsible When A Wrongful Death Occurs?

According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), accidental injuries are one of the leading causes of death. Sadly, the victim’s surviving family members are often left facing questions about how it happened and who is responsible. At Harris Personal Injury Lawyers, our Calabasas wrongful death attorneys take the swift, aggressive actions needed to get the answers you need. Nothing can bring back your loved one or ease the suffering you face, but a wrongful death claim can help to provide a sense of justice and compensation for financial losses you incur now and in the years to come. Those who may be held responsible in a claim include:

• Drivers who engage in reckless behaviors such as speeding, running red lights, and driving distracted or under the influence;
• Public transit companies and their employees, for failing to ensure the safety of passengers;
• Commercial vehicle owners, for failing to properly vet drivers or maintain their vehicles;
• Property owners, for failing to provide proper upkeep and for not notifying others that dangers exist;
• Product manufacturers and distributors, for producing and selling dangerous or defective items;
• Others whose actions are in any way responsible for your loved one’s death.

How Much Am I Entitled To In A Wrongful Death Claim?

Damages in wrongful death claims vary depending on the circumstances involved. Our goal is always to get the maximum amount you deserve. Compensation available may include:

• Economic damages: These cover tangible losses, such as outstanding medical bills, funeral expenses, lost wages, and reimbursement for future income your loved one would have earned.
• Non-economic damages: These cover intangible costs, such as your pain, suffering, loss of companionship and enjoyment in life.
• Punitive damages: This is an additional amount the judge may order in cases where the at-fault party acted in a particularly willful and negligent manner.
