Burbank Wrongful Death Lawyer

Burbank, California, is located just outside of Los Angeles and has a population just over 100,000 people. Similar to the surrounding areas, Burbank is a series of neighborhoods that collectively mesh together, without a definitive center. Burbank spreads out below the Verdugo Hills and is mostly flat, being enclosed by the Hollywood Hills on its southern border. Though a hub of exciting businesses and vacations, unfortunately there are wrongful deaths that occur throughout the valley. If you have lost a family member to a wrongful cause of death, our firm understands that the loss and devastation that you feel is incalculable. Get in touch with a Burbank wrongful death lawyer at Walch Law now to learn more about how we can help and why we are the best local law firm for you and your family during this difficult time.

Who Qualifies as a Victim of a Wrongful Death Claim

To be a victim of a wrongful death claim, the victim’s death must be proven to have occurred by a negligent or wrongful act of another person or party. Someone is negligent when they fail to exercise a reasonable standard of care. Each individual that qualifies for wrongful death claims may seek monetary relief for damages to his or her person, or for the loss suffered by another family member due to the death of a loved one.

Some incidents of wrongful death occur from medical malpractice and car accidents. A fetus or unborn child is not a victim of a wrongful death, nor is the death of a victim killed while committing a felony. A suicide victim may qualify as a wrongful death if their responsible party’s act or failure to act was a significant cause of the suicide.

Who Can File a California Wrongful Death Claim

In California, only certain individuals can bring a wrongful death claim against another person or party. While the spouse and children that survive the decedent may bring wrongful death claims, there are complex rules surrounding other family members who might think that they are entitled to file a claim as well. If you think that you have reason to file a wrongful death claim, contact one of our wrongful death attorneys to discuss your rights in the case. Whatever your relation to the deceased individual, our lawyers at Walch Law want to help you recover from your loss and receive the appropriate compensation.

  • Loss of Wages – If your deceased family member provided financial income, you can recover for current lost wages and projected future income. You can also receive projected losses of support, such as clothing or shelter.
  • Loss of Support – When a family member was crucial to providing service in the home or parental guidance, spouses and children can recover for this loss of support.
  • Other Compensation – We will help you recover from any property damage that occurred in the wrongful death accident, including damage to cars, motorcycles, phones, watches, laptops, etc. It is possible to recover for non-tangible losses, such as loss of companionship, support, love, comfort, and affection.

We had two prior attorneys who were unable to settle our car accident case. We then hired Gary and Robert Walch and they not only got us both great settlements, but personally spent time with us explaining everything clearly. We couldn't be happier. Thank you! A.M. and M.A.
