Pursuing a Wrongful Death Claim

In California, certain parties are eligible to file a wrongful death lawsuit, including the deceased’s spouse, domestic partner, and children. If none exist, those entitled to the decedent's property by intestate succession, such as parents or siblings, can file. Claims must be filed within two years of the death.
