Who Can Bring a California Wrongful Death Claim?
To be qualified to bring a wrongful death claim in California, you must have a family relationship with the deceased through blood or marriage. Under the law, cohabitating couples do not have the right to file such a claim. Closest relatives are given preference, in the following order: (1) surviving spouse, (2) children, (3) parents and (4) siblings (a blood brother or sister).

Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect
Nursing homes and long-term care facilities are entrusted with the care of our most vulnerable citizens. The staff and administrators at these facilities have a duty to protect our elderly or disabled family members. When they are negligent in their duties, it can mean the death of a loved one.

The death of an elderly person because of a fall, burn injury, complications from bedsores, medication error, sepsis, pneumonia or malnutrition may be a sign that the facility has been negligent or abusive. It is critical to investigate a nursing home injury or the suspicious death of a vulnerable adult for possible negligence or abuse. By holding nursing home employees responsible for wrongful deaths that occur on their watch, other lives may be saved.

The California wrongful death attorneys at Blackman Legal Group know that the death of an elderly person is a sad loss for surviving family members. We work with medical experts across the state to prove liability.

Wrongful Death of California Travelers
The families of fatally injured travelers face many difficulties in bringing to justice those responsible for the death of their loved one. For travelers from abroad, it can be confusing to deal with a foreign justice system in a language they don't know, and they may fear that they have to make a long trip and spend months in the United States.

Out-of-state families and families from abroad often do not have to travel here. The California wrongful death attorneys at Blackman Legal Group work cooperatively with attorneys around the world to help families get financial compensation and justice.
