What Damages Can My Family Recover in a Long Beach Wrongful Death Case?

California law allows surviving family members to seek compensation for both the financial and personal losses caused by a wrongful death. In medical malpractice cases involving wrongful death, these damages can be substantial.

Some of the damages your family may be entitled to recover include:

  • Medical expenses incurred before your loved one’s passing
  • Funeral and burial costs
  • Loss of the deceased’s future income and financial support
  • Loss of love, companionship, and moral support

It is important to note that California’s MICRA law places a cap on non-economic damages in medical malpractice wrongful death cases.

Our attorneys can explain how this cap may apply to your specific case during your free case review.
