A wrongful death lawsuit allows certain individuals to seek compensation when a loved one dies due to someone else’s negligence or wrongful act. In California, strict laws govern who is eligible to file such a claim.



At David Grow Attorney, we provide legal assistance to the Sacramento public, helping families navigate the legal process after the tragic loss of a loved one.

Who Is Eligible to File a Wrongful Death Lawsuit in California?

Under California law, the following individuals may file a wrongful death lawsuit:

1. Immediate Family Members

• The deceased’s surviving spouse, domestic partner, or children have the primary right to file.

1. Other Dependents

• If no immediate family members exist, those who were financially dependent on the deceased—such as stepchildren, putative spouses, or parents—may be eligible.

1. Estate Representatives

• The personal representative of the deceased’s estate may file a claim to recover financial losses for the estate.
