Los Angeles Fatal Car Accident Lawyer

The death of a family member in a car accident can leave you facing grief and sudden financial and legal concerns. If another driver or responsible party caused the collision, state law may allow certain surviving family members to pursue a wrongful death claim.

A Los Angeles fatal car accident lawyer from LNN could explain your rights and handle the legal work while your family focuses on immediate needs. Our car accident attorneys could preserve evidence, identify every potentially liable party, and pursue compensation through a settlement or trial.

What Is a Wrongful Death Claim After a Car Crash?

A wrongful death action is a civil claim focusing on a fatality that another party’s negligence or wrongful conduct caused. In a fatal car accident case, liability may arise from impaired driving, excessive speed, or a dangerous lane change.

The claim is separate from any criminal case that prosecutors file. A criminal prosecution addresses an alleged offense against the state, while a wrongful death case seeks financial recovery for eligible survivors who lost support because of a fatal car accident. Our Los Angeles attorney is skilled at handling wrongful death actions resulting from motor vehicle collisions.

Who Is Eligible to Bring the Fatal Car Crash Claim?

The state limits who may bring this type of lawsuit. Under California Code of Civil Procedure § 377.60, a surviving spouse or domestic partner may file, as may the children. Certain heirs or financial dependents may qualify in circumstances the statute defines.

Several relatives may have an interest after a fatal car accident, so coordination is important. The state generally treats the eligible survivors as parties to one wrongful death action. Our lawyers in Los Angeles could determine which survivors to include in your deadly car crash case and help prevent disputes that delay it.

What Damages Could You Recover?

Wrongful death damages address the losses surviving family members suffer rather than the pain the person who died had experienced. Recoverable losses may include funeral expenses and the financial support the deceased person would likely have provided if they had lived.

A family may also seek compensation for lost companionship and guidance. These losses are personal, and a receipt cannot measure them. Our auto accident attorneys in Los Angeles could use employment records and household evidence to present the full effect of your loved one’s death, and testimony from relatives may provide further support.

In some cases, a separate survival action may be available for losses the deceased person could have pursued before death. Our lawyers could explain whether both wrongful death and survival claims apply and how they differ.

How Do Our Lawyers Investigate a Fatal Crash?

A serious investigation should begin before evidence disappears. Our attorney could investigate your family member’s fatal car wreck in Los Angeles by:

Obtaining police reports
Inspecting available vehicles
Seeking traffic-camera footage or nearby surveillance video
Analyzing data from an event recorder

Our lawyers could interview witnesses and consult qualified reconstruction professionals if the sequence of the crash is in dispute. Cell phone records may help establish distraction. Toxicology evidence may address impairment. Maintenance documents could reveal a defective vehicle or neglected commercial fleet.

Our investigation could also examine every possible source of liability. The responsible party may be a negligent driver, an employer, or a government entity responsible for a dangerous roadway. Claims against public entities can involve shorter notice rules, so early review is important.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

WHAT IS A PERSONAL INJURY?

Personal injury cases are some of the most common civil litigation cases—also known as “tort actions” or “lawsuits”—in the United States. They are filed by individuals who have experienced bodily injury, pain and suffering, and sometimes property damage in an accident caused by a negligent third party. These claims can also be filed for intentional harm or defamation of character by a third party.

DO I NEED TO HIRE A PERSONAL INJURY ATTORNEY?

While you are not required to have an attorney to file a claim, having an attorney can make a significant difference in your claim. A personal injury attorney has a deep understanding of the claims process and can help you navigate the complexities of the law. Your attorney can also help you level the playing field with insurers and can tell you whether you are receiving the maximum compensation to which you are legally entitled.

Taking quick action after your accident can profoundly affect your personal injury claim or lawsuit. After being involved in an accident, you should: Seek medical attention for your injuries, even if symptoms are not immediately apparent.

Record detailed descriptions and notes about the facts of the incident.

WILL MY PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM GO TO TRIAL?

Not all personal injury claims make it to court. In fact, a majority of injury cases are settled without having to litigate. What’s the difference between a settlement and going to trial? What are the pros and cons of each? There are two ways in which compensation can be awarded to you for your claim: through a settlement or by going to trial. There are pros and cons to each. When your claim is settled, the compensation for your claim is decided outside of court, usually through negotiations between lawyers.

HOW LONG DO I HAVE TO FILE A PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM?

In California, you have two years to file a personal injury claim against an individual or non-government entity. If the injury is not immediately known, you have one year from the date the injury is discovered. If you’ve suffered injuries from an accident that was caused by someone else’s negligence, you should act quickly to ensure you are able to recover compensation for your losses.

Notifying Insurance Companies

You should notify your insurance company and the responsible party’s insurance company as soon as possible after your accident. Most insurance companies request that you file your claim within 24 – 48 hours after your accident. When you file a personal injury insurance claim, you are requesting that the at-fault party’s insurance pay for the losses you suffered as a result of your accident, and the compensation amount is determined during negotiations. Seeking Compensation You can get financial compensation in two ways: filing a personal injury insurance claim or filing a personal injury lawsuit. Generally, compensation can be sought for two types of damages: economic and non-economic. Economic damages are those with a measurable monetary value, such as medical expenses and lost wages. On the other hand, non-economic damages refer to losses that cannot be easily quantified, such as pain and suffering or emotional distress. It is important to understand the types of damages available in your case so that you can seek compensation for all of your related losses. Soon after your accident, contact a knowledgeable personal injury attorney in Los Angeles who can explain the time limits to you and help you get the compensation you deserve.
