Compassionate Legal Support When Your Family Needs It Most

Wrongful Death Lawyer in Pasadena, CA

Losing a loved one is one of life’s most painful experiences — especially when their death was caused by someone else’s negligence or wrongdoing. The emotional pain is often compounded by unexpected financial burdens, from funeral costs to lost income and medical bills.

​

At Rodriguez Law Group, Inc., our compassionate Pasadena wrongful death attorneys help families pursue justice and financial recovery after a preventable tragedy. While no amount of money can replace your loved one, holding the responsible parties accountable can bring closure and help secure your family’s future.

​

What Is Wrongful Death?

A wrongful death claim arises when a person’s death is caused by the careless, reckless, or intentional actions of another individual or entity. These claims can result from:

​

• Car, truck, or motorcycle accidents

• Pedestrian or bicycle accidents

• Construction site or workplace accidents

• Medical malpractice

• Defective or dangerous products

• Nursing home neglect or abuse

• Premises liability incidents (slip and fall, negligent security, etc.)

• Criminal acts or assaults

​

If someone’s negligence or misconduct caused your loved one’s death, you may have the right to file a claim on their behalf.

​

Who Can File a Wrongful Death Claim in California?

Under California law (Code of Civil Procedure § 377.60), the following individuals are generally eligible to file a wrongful death claim:

​

• The deceased person’s spouse or domestic partner

• Children of the deceased

• Parents or stepchildren (if financially dependent)

• Other heirs or family members who would inherit under California’s intestate succession laws

​

Our attorneys can help determine who is legally entitled to bring the claim and guide your family through every step of the process.

​

What Compensation Can Be Recovered?

While no legal outcome can erase the pain of your loss, a wrongful death claim can provide essential financial support for your family. Compensation may include:

​

• Funeral and burial expenses

• Medical costs related to the fatal injury or illness

• Loss of the deceased’s income and benefits

• Loss of companionship, love, and guidance

• Emotional distress and mental anguish

• Value of household services provided by the deceased

​

In some cases, punitive damages may also be available to punish particularly reckless or intentional conduct.

​
