Galt Wrongful Death Lawyers
Galt Wrongful Death Attorneys
Unlike a personal injury claim, where the injured person is one of the plaintiffs, in a wrongful death claim, the family members of an individual tragically killed by the wrongful actions of another are the plaintiffs. Surviving family members may be entitled to monetary damages that have resulted from the loss of a loved one. In a wrongful death claim, various types of monetary damages may be recovered, including final medical bills, funeral and burial expenses, deceased’s anticipated earnings, deceased’s anticipated savings, and loss of companionship, care, support and parental guidance (if applicable).
If you have lost a loved one in a tragic accident, the Sacramento wrongful death lawyers at Estey Bomberger can offer you and your family a helping hand during this trying time. As seasoned advocates of those dealing with the loss of a loved one, we will respect the delicacy of the situation and can be trusted to handle your case with care and compassion.

Statute of Limitations
California’s statute of limitations restricts the time period in which a person can file a lawsuit. For cases involving wrongful death, action generally must be taken within two years from the date of death, however, if the deceased died as a result of exposure to asbestos, legal action must be taken one year from the date of death or when it was “discovered” asbestos exposure caused or contributed to the death. Calculating the exact time a victim’s family members have to file a wrongful death claim can be complicated, which is why a knowledgeable Galt wrongful death lawyer at the law firm of Estey Bomberger should be contacted as soon as possible. If a claim is not filed within the time period given by the state, the claim will be denied and surviving family members will not be able to pursue monetary damages.
