Are you searching to learn more about filing a wrongful death claim in Mission Viejo or anywhere in Southern California? Have you lost a husband or wife, child or parent in a fatal accident in Orange County or Los Angeles? My name is Rivers Morrell and after more than 40 years of experience with filing a wrongful death claim in Mission Viejo and throughout California I can tell you it is important for your family to be represented by an experienced and proven wrongful death attorney.
Fatal accidents often involve multiple sources of liability and more than one insurance company. The legal issues associated with a wrongful death case are quite complex. Insurance companies know juries do not like wrongful deaths and there is a substantial risk to the insurance company the jury will award a substantial verdict to your family. Insurance companies closely monitor all personal injury attorneys and know that many have never taken a case to a successful verdict at trial. These attorneys are less of a risk to an insurance company than a proven trial attorney with millions of dollars of verdicts in Southern California courtrooms.
The point here is your family has lost a beloved parent, child or grandparent. How will the bills get paid after the loss of a wage earner? Nothing can replace your family member, and no amount of money can truly compensate for the lost time, closeness, influence and precious memories you should have enjoyed. California law does provide the family with a civil (financial) remedy through a wrongful death action. Your family can recover for the loss of the financial support your loved one would have provided over the coming years, final expenses, any associated medical bills, compensation for suffering they may have been forced to endure, even the value of household services they would have provided in the future.
California also recognizes the non-financial impact of your loss. Our wrongful death laws provide compensation for the loss of companionship and intimate time with your loved one, as well as their guidance, protection, affection and even moral support.
