Representing Children: Seeking
Compensation for Financial Losses and More
Although the financial loss a child suffers in connection with the wrongful death of a parent may be great, it is nothing compared to the child's loss of a mother or father's love, care and upbringing.
At the Law Offices of Sanford M. Cipinko, we have the knowledge, experience and skill needed to help children who have lost parents to accidents or negligence in California.
The laws of this state recognize both the financial losses suffered by children who lose parents, and the non-economic losses as well, including:
- Losses of love, society, companionship, comfort, protection and care that the parent would have provided over the course of their lifetime
- Loss of parental guidance and training
- Loss of income and other financial benefits that the child would otherwise have been expected to receive
- Medical costs the parent may have incurred prior to death, as well as funeral and burial expenses
Preserving Your Right to Recover
In California, minors, adults, adopted children and stepchildren may recover damages in a wrongful death lawsuit. However, there may be limits on the amount of time there is in which to file a claim. By contacting our lawyers as soon as possible, you can get the advice and representation you need to protect your right to recover any or all of those damages.
Handling All Cases on a Contingency Basis
In cases of wrongful death, you will only be asked to pay attorney fees if we are able to obtain a verdict or settlement on your behalf.
