Fatal Car Accidents in California: Know Your Legal Rights
Fatal car accidents often leave families facing devastating emotional and financial challenges. Under California law, surviving family members may have the right to file a wrongful death claim to recover compensation for funeral costs, medical expenses, lost financial support, and emotional suffering.
When multiple vehicles are involved, determining liability can be complex. A skilled California car accident attorney can investigate the crash, gather evidence, and work with law enforcement reports and expert witnesses to identify all responsible parties.
Families should also be aware of California’s two-year statute of limitations for filing a wrongful death lawsuit. Acting quickly ensures crucial evidence, such as traffic camera footage, witness statements, and crash data, is preserved.
