Wrongful Death
Attorney Stuart Sherman

When an individual dies as the result of another person’s negligence or reckless conduct, his or her family is legally entitled to receive compensation for their loss. If you have recently lost a loved one due another person’s negligence, it is important that you file a wrongful death claim as soon as possible. Failure to do so may waive your right to recover damages.
Wrongful death laws were established to protect husbands, wives, children, parents, relatives, and other dependents. Under California wrongful death law, the decedent’s spouse, children, heirs, and dependents are entitled to receive compensation for both their economic and non-economic suffering. Economic losses include:
- Funeral expenses
- Medical expenses
- Prospective inheritances
- Lost future earnings
- Estate planning
- Loss of benefits (i.e. insurance, pension, 401K, etc.)
- Lost wages or earnings

There are a variety of circumstances that commonly cause wrongful death, such as slip and fall accidents, medical malpractice, motor vehicle accidents, exposure to hazardous chemicals or materials, and defective products or machinery.

At the Sherman Law Firm, our Wrongful Death Attorneys are well-versed in this area of personal injury law, and utilize highly effective strategies in order to secure favorable results for our clients.
