Wrongful Death
Losing a loved one unexpectedly is one of the most painful experiences anyone can face — especially when that loss was caused by someone else’s negligence or wrongdoing.
At Elsaleh Injury Law, we help families seek justice and financial relief through wrongful death claims in California.
A wrongful death occurs when a person dies due to another party’s careless, reckless, or intentional actions. While no amount of money can replace a life, a legal claim can help ease the financial burden and hold the responsible party accountable.
Common Causes of Wrongful Death:
-
Car, truck, or motorcycle accidents
-
Medical malpractice
-
Workplace accidents
-
Defective products
-
Dangerous property conditions
-
