Wrongful Death

A wrongful death case is where the victim’s family attempts to prove that the defendant was responsible or civilly liable for the deceased person’s death as the result of a careless, deliberate or negligent act. These are often complicated cases that require a highly skilled team of attorneys, such as the wrongful death lawyers at Kuzyk Law. Handling a wrongful death case requires skill, strategy, and most of all, sensitivity, understanding and compassion. No amount of money is enough, and nothing will take away the pain, loss and devastation that the family must endure. But Kuzyk Law is here to help, and obtain the maximum financial recovery for the family; the victims who must survive and go on without their loved one.

Our wrongful death attorneys must consider a number of factors in evaluating your wrongful death claim. Our experienced California wrongful death attorneys can help Los Angeles County victims’ families obtain maximum compensation by carefully examining the specific aspects of the case. An important step in a wrongful death case is to establish the life expectancy of the decedent had the accident not occurred. To do this, we consider the decedent’s age, medical history and occupation, and other factors. We also consider lost earnings, and other financial support that the family lost as a result of their loved one’s death. This requires us to review the decedent’s employment and salary history, and anticipated future wages.
