DUI Defense in San Diego

Losing a loved one unexpectedly is never easy. But if someone was responsible for the fatal accident or incident that took their life, you may be able to recover compensation. Even indirect negligence that contributed to their death can result in a settlement or monetary award from the court.

It is difficult enough to deal with grief and funeral arrangements after a death. Let Joseph C. Crudo PLC put his experience to work for you, handling everything a wrongful death claim requires so you are free to deal with your emotions and the work of putting your life back together.

Under California law, only the spouse, children, domestic partner, or parents of the victim can make a claim. California allows you to sue for both economic damages, such as medical bills and funeral costs, and non-economic damages, such as the loss of a parent's support or a spouse's companionship.
