Modesto Wrongful Death Lawyer

Millions Recovered for Our Clients

No amount of money will ever replace the tragic loss of a loved one. It is, however, possible to claim financial compensation to offset the considerable economic burden of a fatal accident, as well as to receive monetary damages to help you move on in life.

The courts in Modesto and throughout California recognize the right of surviving family members to bring a wrongful death action after losing a loved one in an accident caused by another party's negligence. Possible economic and noneconomic damages are available to the plaintiff.


Have you lost a loved one due to someone else's negligence? Our Modesto wrongful death lawyer is here to help. Call (209) 803-5117 or contact us online to schedule your free case evaluation today.


What Damages Can You Recover from A Wrongful Death Claim?

Economic damages that are available through a wrongful death action include the value of financial support you have lost and what you could reasonably have expected to receive from the decedent in the future, as well as the loss of gifts and benefits that you might have expected.

Further, you can receive payment for your expenses for:

  • Funeral and burial
  • Compensation for the reasonable value of lost household services which would have been performed

Noneconomic damages in a claim include the loss of:

  • Love

  • Companionship
  • Comfort
  • Care
  • Assistance
  • Protection
  • Affection
  • Society & Moral Support
  • Enjoyment of Sexual Relations
  • Training & Guidance

Our Modesto wrongful death attorney at the Law Offices of Steven A. Fabbro understands that the sudden loss of a loved one can cause immediate economic strain for the surviving family members. That is why we aggressively pursue such claims for the survivors to promptly achieve reimbursement for their losses and recovery of damages and thereby avoid the stress caused by uncertainty.

Who Can File a Wrongful Death Claim in California?

In California, only certain people are allowed to file wrongful death claims.

The following parties are eligible to file wrongful death claims:

  • Surviving Spouse
  • Domestic Partner
  • Surviving Children
  • Anyone who would be entitled to the property of deceased such as, parents or siblings

The Wrongful Death Statute of Limitations in California

In California, personal injury claims, which include wrongful death claims must be filed within two years of the date of the fatal accident. The family will lose all right to file and to recover compensation if the case is not filed within that time.
