Helping Families Who Have Lost Loved Ones in Fatal Accidents

The loss of a loved one is a profound loss. Words can never adequately explain just how someone feels after such a loss. When someone's death is caused by the negligent or wrongful actions of someone else, this grief can be overwhelming. If someone you love has been killed in an accident, you need answers. One way to get answers, and a measure of justice for your loss, is by filing a wrongful death claim.

The Riverside County wrongful death lawyers of Greene Broillet & Wheeler, LLP, have helped families across Southern California who lost loved ones. Although money is not adequate to address the loss of a loved one, it is the only remedy allowed under the law.

Monetary damages do serve a number of important functions, however. First, money can be very helpful for a family dealing with the financial losses caused by a loved one's death. Secondly, when a business or government agency is responsible for someone's death, a significant award can cause these powerful interests to change their procedures and policies. California law allows for damages in a wrongful death claim, including, but not limited to the following:

• Loss of financial support
• The value of services the deceased would have provided to the surviving family members
• Loss of love, companionship, comfort and affection
• Costs of medical treatment prior to death
• Funeral and burial expenses

When our attorneys and staff represent families in a wrongful death claim, we dedicate ourselves to presenting a case that gives our clients every opportunity to receive full compensation for their losses.
