California Fatal Accident Attorney
No amount of money can replace the loss of a loved one. In the United States, the only civil remedy for a wrongful death is a monetary settlement or award that provides your family with the financial resources to move forward, and hopefully provide some closure.
In a wrongful death case, surviving family members — the husband or wife, children, parents and siblings — can recover for loss of companionship, and income that would have gone to support the surviving children or spouse. This recovery is especially important for California families with young children who will grow up without a parent who should have been there to support and encourage them.
At Miller Law, Inc., we represent the surviving families of people killed in accidents of all kinds. They are people who have lost loved ones in a broad spectrum of fatal accidents, including car accidents, truck accidents, accidents caused by dangerous and defective products and accidents caused by negligent security.
At our central California law firm, we can bring wrongful death lawsuits against a range of persons, businesses, government entities and their employees. We take an in-depth look at the situation and are dedicated to exploring all possible options. We conduct thorough legal research, visit the scene of the accident, interview witnesses and consult with knowledgeable experts.
The Statute of Limitations
In California, the statute of limitations sets limits on the time during which you can file a wrongful death lawsuit. Generally, the statute of limitations to file a wrongful death suit is two years, although in certain circumstances the statute of limitations may differ. If you wait too long, you may miss your opportunity to seek justice. That is why it is critical to speak with an attorney after a fatal accident — even if you are not immediately certain that you have a claim. Talking with a lawyer at Miller Law, Inc. can help you understand your options and take effective action.
