Merced Wrongful Death Lawyers
In an instant, your world can be turned upside down with the loss of a loved one. Suffering the death of a loved one is devastating and many times leaves survivors at a complete loss on how to move forward.
If that loss was due to the negligence of another person, business or government agency, California law allows the family of a deceased to seek financial compensation through a wrongful death claim or lawsuit.
The law recognizes that the negligent person’s liability extends past the death of your loved one. Financial compensation will never replace the loss of a loved one, but it can help ease the stress associated with the family’s financial burdens.
