Cases Our Mission Hills Wrongful Death Attorneys Represent 

According to the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health, accidents are a leading cause of death in our area. In a wrongful death, the reckless and negligent actions of others are to blame. Criminal charges may or may not be filed but in either case, the victims' survivors have the right to hold those at fault responsible.  

At Harris Personal Injury Lawyers, we provide the compassionate care and trusted legal guidance you need. As experienced Mission Hills wrongful death attorneys, we represent grieving families in the following types of cases:  

• Car accidents; 
• Motorcycle accidents; 
• Truck accidents; 
• Bicycle and pedestrian accidents; 
• Sports and recreational accidents; 
• Premises liability accidents; 
• Product liability accidents; 
• Any type of accident that results in fatal injuries.  

Who Can Be Held Responsible When A Wrongful Death In Mission Hills Happens?  

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) warns that close to 60,000 people die each year as a result of unintentional injuries. While referred to as ‘accidents’ the fact is that a wrongful death occurs due to the actions or inactions of others involved.  

While you focus on grieving and attending to practical details surrounding your loved one’s death, Harris Personal Injury Lawyers can conduct a thorough investigation. Our Mission Hills wrongful death attorneys can determine exactly how they died and who is responsible. This can include:  

• Motorists who were engaged in dangerous driving behaviors, such as speeding, running red lights, and driving under the influence; 
• Sports and recreational program administrators, coaches, or other stuff who failed to provide proper instruction, supervision, or the appropriate safety equipment;  
• Property owners, who failed to properly maintain the premises or warn visitors of potential dangers that existed; 
• Product manufacturers and distributors, for failing to provide accurate directions or warning labels and for not pulling potentially dangerous products from shelves.  

Who Can File A Wrongful Death Claim In Mission Hills? 

Under the California Civil Code, while your loved one’s death may have been unintentional, those at fault can still be held legally liable. People who may be entitled to file a wrongful death in Mission Hills include:  

• The spouse or domestic partner of the victim; 
• Their children, grandchildren, and legal wards; 
• Their parents, legal guardian, or grandparents; 
• Their legal representative or others who may be entitled to inherit from their estate.  

At Harris Personal Injury Lawyers, we know that no amount of money can help ease your suffering during this difficult time. However, filing a wrongful death claim can provide a sense of justice while ensuring you are provided for in a way your loved one would have wanted.  

How Much Is A Wrongful Death Claim Worth?  

As experienced Mission Hills wrongful death attorneys, our goal is to ensure you get the maximum compensation you need to recover from the tragedy you have been through. However, each case is different and the exact amount will depend on the circumstances.  

If insurance companies are involved,  our legal team at Harris Personal Injury Lawyers can aggressively negotiate on your behalf to reach a reasonable settlement. If insurance is not in place or policy limits are inadequate, we can represent you in a wrongful death lawsuit filed through the Los Angeles County Civil Court. Compensation available includes:  

• Economic damages, which cover funeral expenses, outstanding medical bills, lost wages, and other tangible costs. 
• Non-economic damages, which compensate you for pain, suffering, loss of companionship, and loss of enjoyment in life.   
• Punitive damages, an additional amount meant to punish those at-fault for particularly willful and negligent behavior while discouraging others from engaging in similar actions.
