Who Can File a Wrongful Death Claim?
California law has specific rules as to who is eligible to file a wrongful death claim. According to this law the following people can file a claim:
- The deceased’s spouse
- The deceased’s domestic partner
- The deceased’s children
If the deceased does not have any of the above, then anyone “who would be entitled to the property of the decedent by intestate succession” can file a claim. This is often but not limited to a family member. Additionally, the deceased's stepchildren or parents may file a claim if they can prove they were financially dependent on the deceased.
