California state law lays out a clear set of standards when regards to wrongful death claims and these apply to families in Ontario who are looking to pursue a wrongful death claim. Within these standards are limitations on who is able to file and receive any compensation for the claim. Typically in wrongful death claims the general public understands that children are a priority and as a society we feel they should be taken care of. Aside from a child or children of the deceased, spouses and domestic partners are eligible to file wrongful death claims too.

Generally speaking, a claim could be filed by a person who was financially dependent on the deceased.

Qualifying – Pursue a Wrongful Death Claim

A wrongful death claim is typically filed based on the sole fact that the person who is deceased would not have otherwise died without either an intervention of someone else, or the lack of care or negligence of someone. There are also deaths that occur in California where both claims cannot be filed as well as situations that seem where claims would not be allowed, but the court will allow a formal lawsuit for wrongful death to be filed.

Death by suicide is one situation where the family can move forward on a wrongful death claim. These situations would involve proving that someone had some level of care or obligation to the deceased, and they failed to provide this service which then resulted in the deceased taking their own life. These cases are becoming more mainstream with the emergence of bullying on school grounds and institutions.

Cases where families would commonly want to go forward with a wrongful death claim, but may be unable to based on California law and the restrictions are death of an unborn child. Based on the California Supreme Court an unborn child does not met the requirements of a person with regards to California personal injury suits. Another example of a death not able to result in wrongful death claims would be certain homicides, particularly justifiable ones.

Even if the deceased was somewhat responsible for their death, a wrongful death claim can still be filed.

Wow! I can't say enough good things about the Law Offices of Justin King. Attitude starts at the top, & this firm is top tier. They represented me (& yes we won!) for an injury I sustained while riding my motorcycle westbound on the 10. Someone changed lanes without looking, which resulted in a knee injury, a lot of physical therapy, & a totaled motorcycle. I wasn't sure what to do or if this were even something worth pursuing. I found Justin's webpage & sent a quick message to him on a Saturday night then thought nothing of it. My first call from Justin was Sunday morning. I was immediately impressed. After hearing a bit of my story & asking a few questions I was ready to have Justin represent me. My first question was "How much do I need to come up with to get this started? Justin replied, you don't owe anything until we win. Not unless, until. That set the tone of the next 2 years of my life. As your case progresses it'll require work from you & a whole team working to represent you. Staci will call & let you know she's emailing documents that require signatures; Garrett will call to ask for details they need to understand & yes, he will call to remind you that you forgot to sign a document 3 days earlier. These are great people who genuinely care. They will take time to understand your needs & they communicate every step of the way. If you are injured, you need to call Justin & his team right away. You will not be disappointed!Google only allows 5 stars, but these guys deserve 10!

Last July I was struck by a falling case of liquor at Total Wine in Rancho Cucamonga which led to a slip and fall. My friends and family urged me to contact a lawyer after discovering I needed surgery to repair my broken wrist. A friend found Justin King on Google. Justin was compassionate, accessible, and took charge from the very first meeting. He was able to obtain the surveillance video capturing the entire incident, and made an appointment for me to see a prominent neurologist after the video showed the case struck the front of my head. The entire staff at The Law Offices of Justin H. King were very easy to work with, and I always felt like my case was getting personal attention. Thank you Garrett, Staci, and Leoni! My case went to mediation and settled for more than 3x what they originally offered. If you have been injured in an accident, I highly recommend The Law Offices of Justin H. King.
