What is Wrongful Death In California?

A “wrongful death claim” comes about when a person dies as the result of the wrongful act or negligence of another person. Wrongful death claims are a civil lawsuit. It is brought directly by the survivors of the deceased person, and the fault is expressed in money damages.

Certain people are allowed to file a wrongful death lawsuit. These include:

• the deceased person’s surviving spouse
• the deceased person’s domestic partner
• the deceased person’ s surviving children
• anyone “who would be entitled to the property of the decedent by intestate succession”

And, if they can show they were financially dependent on the deceased person, the following people can also bring about a wrongful death lawsuit:

• the deceased person’s “putative spouse” and children of the putative spouse
• the deceased person’s stepchildren
• the deceased person’s parents
