A. To bring a wrongful death claim in California, you must have a relationship with the deceased either through blood or marriage. If there is a surviving spouse, the surviving spouse may bring a wrongful death action. Other parties that may potentially bring a claim include a decedent’s children, parents, and siblings. An attorney at Estey & Bomberger can review applicable wrongful death statutes with you and explain who would be eligible to bring a claim in a particular scenario.
