The loss of a loved one is always devastating, but it may be even harder to deal with when it is a preventable death that was caused by the negligence or direct action of an entity or another person. A family member’s death might also impose a significant financial burden upon the survivors. Even if a family is aware they might be able to file a wrongful death lawsuit in Los Angeles or elsewhere in California, they may not have the cash up front to afford to do so. However, they may be able to obtain legal funding for wrongful death claim from High Rise Financial.
What Types of Deaths Lead to Wrongful Death Lawsuits?
If a person dies because of a faulty product or the actions of another person, it may be possible to file a wrongful death lawsuit. Car accidents, plane crashes and accidents at work could all be reasons to file a wrongful death lawsuit. Medical malpractice could also result in a wrongful death lawsuit. Finally, if one person kills another, that person could be sued for wrongful death. For a lawsuit to be successful, it is necessary to prove that the actions or negligence of the other person or party caused the death.

Restrictions in Wrongful Death Lawsuits
It is necessary for a wrongful death lawsuit to be timely filed and to be filed by the right person or party. The amount of time a person has to file a lawsuit varies according to the specific situation. For example, there is a general two-year limit in California, but for medical malpractice and some other types of cases, it could be less. People who are not yet prepared to file a lawsuit may still want to consult an attorney to find out how much time they have.
The person may also want to talk to the attorney about who may file the lawsuit. In general, a person’s spouse or children or others who were dependents can file a claim, but there may be other elements to consider as well.
Among the damages that may be sought in a wrongful death lawsuit are funeral costs, medical expenses, loss of companionship and loss of income from the person who has died. In addition to consulting an attorney about the specifics of the case, you can apply to see if you or a loved one qualifies for legal cash funding to pursue your wrongful death action or legal case.
