A California wrongful death attorney is a personal injury attorney who works with cases involving unjust death. Wrongful death can happen because of accidents or defective products. When people think of accidents, they think of vehicle accidents, but there are many different types of accidents that may cause wrongful death. Some of these accidents include:
- Amusement park accidents
- Skiing accidents (including defective ski lifts)
- Entertainment accidents (such as concerts, football games, etc)
- Motorcycle accidents
- Racing accidents (spectators)
- Air show accidents (spectators)
If your loved one died in a situation where you think there may have been wrongful death involved, contact a California wrongful death attorney as soon as possible. There is a time limit to file wrongful death cases. While filing a legal action does not bring your loved one back, the settlement that could come from the wrongful death action will help you relieve some of the financial burden of the lost income from your loved one.
