Wrongful Death

Law Firm for Wrongful Death Lawsuits in Bakersfield

The purpose of a wrongful death lawsuit is to allow immediate family members of a fatal accident victim to sue the responsible party or parties for their financial losses. Wrongful death lawsuits must be filed within two years of the date on which the cause of death is determined. Wrongful death lawsuits are generally limited to immediate family members who can show that they received financial and emotional support from the victim.

After the untimely death of a close family member, it may be difficult to think about taking legal action. However, it is important to seek information about your legal rights — in the event that family members do later decide to take legal action via a wrongful death lawsuit. It is especially important to understand the two-year deadline within which a wrongful death lawsuit must be filed. Although you may never choose to file a wrongful death lawsuit, it is critically important to understand the timeframe within which such a lawsuit must be brought.
