Securing Full Compensation for Your Losses
The loss a family member is not just a one-time event. It is more like the drop of a heavy stone into a still pond. Its ripples and effects extend outward in time and are experienced again and again in profoundly different and personal ways.
California laws regarding wrongful death allow compensation for both economic (special damages) and non-economic (general damages) types of harm.
At the Law Offices of Sanford M. Cipinko, we know the law and we know how to get results. As our client, you can expect that we will put your interests first. You can also expect us to thoroughly prepare your case and to seek, either by settlement or by trial, all of the damages available to you under the laws of this state.
Damages for wrongful death include economic harms such as:
- Loss of financial support (past and future)
- Loss of gifts or benefits the plaintiff could have reasonably been expected to receive from the decedent, were they alive
- Medical costs the decedent may have incurred prior to death, as well as funeral and burial expenses
- Loss of household services
Non-economic damages a jury may award include:
- Loss of the decedent's love, companionship and support
- Loss of consortium or the opportunity to have children
- Loss of parental guidance and training (for minor children)
