  1. What Are the Elements of a Wrongful Death in California?

  2. When a person dies while doing their job, the surviving family members may be eligible to recover death benefits. These benefits are given to those who filed a wrongful death claim. In order to obtain these benefits, the surviving family members have to prove certain elements and find evidence to strengthen their claim.

  3. Proving Negligence The first and the most important thing that you are always asked to show evidence of is negligence. How did your loved one die, and was it a result of someone else’s negligence? If the answer is Yes, you have to hire an attorney and try and collect as much evidence as possible to prove that it was someone else’s negligence that took away your loved one.

  4. Was The Loss Suffered by The Survivors? With so many families being distant and apart, it is not easy to assume that the loss of a family member will affect any of the survivors. It does sound natural, but in today’s world, it has to be proven. Usually, the things that are taken into consideration are: ● ● ● ● ● Loss of consortium Loss of love and privacy Loss of comfort of life Loss of financial support Loss of physical support

  5. Intentional Harm Was your loved one killed by someone? Some wrongful death cases arise from intentional violence, and it is important to prove the following: ● That the person had the intent to commit the act ● That the person made non-consensual contact with the victim ● That the contact with the person caused fatal harm

  6. Hire An Attorney Every year, there are about 5,000 wrongful death claims in California, out of which only 50 percent are successful. Without an attorney, proving this may be nearly impossible. If you do not have an attorney on speed dial, contact a Los Angeles death claims attorney William J. Kropach at the Law Offices of Kropach & Kropach and schedule a free consultation today. William J.
