San Francisco Accidental Death Attorney

What is an Accidental Death?

An accidental death occurs when a person is killed unintentionally.  Unlike murder, where there is intention behind the killing, accidental deaths are not premeditated or planned.  Accidental deaths usually result from people acting recklessly and/or negligently.  For example, a person may be driving above the speed limit and cause a car accident that kills another driver.  Due to the fact that accidental deaths occur suddenly and result from other people's negligence, families who lose loved ones often fill a mixture of sadness and anger, which may prompt them to consider their legal options.

After an accidental death has occurred, the family of the deceased victim may have the right to take legal action against the negligent person that caused the death of their loved one.  This form of legal action is taken when families file what is called a wrongful death claim.  Wrongful death claims allow families to recover monetary damages for: their lost loved one's medical expenses, their lost loved one's funeral and burial expenses, their lost income, their loss of companionship and their pain and suffering.
