2) Impact
- Incident mechanics, timeline, and causation analysis tied to the fatal outcome.
3) Damages
- Economic support loss, household contributions, and non-economic family harm modeled carefully.
4) Coverage

FAQs
These are common wrongful death questions.
Who can file a wrongful death claim in California?
Typically spouses, children, or other eligible heirs can file, subject to California statute and timing.
How long do we have to file?
Most California personal injury claims have a two-year deadline, but government claims and certain malpractice cases can be shorter.
What damages are available for family members?
Damages can include medical bills, lost income, future care, and pain and suffering. In wrongful death, families can recover financial support and loss of companionship.
Will the case go to court?
Most cases settle, but trial-ready preparation improves leverage and protects value if litigation is required.
What if the deceased was partly at fault?
California uses comparative fault, so recovery is reduced by your share of fault rather than barred entirely.
