At Yerushalmi Law Firm, we understand the pain families go through. No amount of money can bring a loved one back, but we can fight to hold the responsible parties accountable and secure the compensation your family deserves.<\/p><h2>Common Causes of Wrongful Death<\/h2><ul><li>Car, truck and motorcycle accidents<\/li><li>Pedestrian accidents<\/li><li>Drunk or distracted driving<\/li><li>Workplace accidents<\/li><li>Dangerous property conditions<\/li><li>Defective products<\/li><\/ul><h2>Who May Bring a Claim<\/h2><p>California law limits who can bring a wrongful death claim, which may include certain family members and others who depended on the person who died. We can explain who may be eligible in your situation and what compensation may be available.<\/p><h2>A Civil Claim Is Separate From Criminal Charges<\/h2><p>Filing a civil wrongful death claim does not require criminal charges to be filed against the person who caused the death. The two are separate processes, and a civil claim can move forward on its own.<\/p><h2>What To Do After the Loss of a Loved One<\/h2><ul><li>Take the time you need to grieve, and lean on family and trusted friends for support.<\/li><li>Do not give a recorded statement to any insurance company before speaking with a lawyer.<\/li><li>Keep records such as the death certificate, medical bills, funeral expenses and any police or incident reports.<\/li><li>Do not post about the incident on social media.<\/li><li>Contact an attorney as soon as possible, because the evidence needs to be preserved and deadlines for filing a claim apply.<\/li><\/ul><h2>How Yerushalmi Law Firm Can Help<\/h2><p>We handle every part of the claim so your family does not have to, from investigating what happened and preserving evidence to negotiating with insurers and, when needed, taking the case to trial.
