How to Recover From a Loved One’s Wrongful Death

While no manner of money nor community can replace the hole that’s left in your life by a loved one’s unexpected passing, the damages you are owed can help you start to rebuild your life following their death. This process can be painful, but it can help you get back on your feet again.

How, though, can you begin to recover from a loved one’s death on both an emotional and economic front? When in doubt, know that you have a community of people prepared to help you, including the wrongful death attorneys in Fresno at Setareh Law. We can guide you through some basic steps that can direct your life back toward normalcy. These steps can include the following:

Seek Help While Going Over Post-Death Care

It’s all too easy for some parties to self-isolate when faced with the grief of a loved one’s wrongful death. Unfortunately, those tendencies tend to do more harm than good. Remember that you have a support system of people, both family and professionals, who are willing to help you navigate through post-death care.

This means that you can turn to other parties for help arranging a funeral, managing your loved one’s estate, and exploring your legal options. You can even reach out to a wrongful death lawyer for support in filing relevant insurance claims should you have the right to demand support from a provider. 

Discuss the Value of Going to Civil Court

While the wrongful death attorneys in Fresno can make the civil process as accessible as possible, there are parts of the process that may prove emotionally challenging. This is particularly true when you’re contending with the grief of a loved one’s passing.

You can meet with our attorneys ahead of time to discuss the value of going to civil court. The emotional cost of meeting with a liable party and outlining the nature of your loved one’s death may prove worth the economic support you have the opportunity to receive. 

Be aware, however, that California only allows certain parties to take legal action on behalf of the state’s deceased. You must prove that you have the immediate right to act on behalf of the deceased by indicating that you are the party’s spouse, domestic partner, child, or grandchild.

If none of these parties find themselves available to take legal action on behalf of the deceased, don’t worry. You may still have the right to act. California statutes allow parties that might otherwise inherit from the deceased to take legal action on the deceased’s behalf under the umbrella of intestate succession.
