Wrongful Death

San Diego, San Marcos, Carlsbad, Oceanside, Vista, Escondido

It is normal for you to feel anger and loss at the death of a loved one.  But when there are unresolved questions about your loved one's death or, worse, direct evidence that the death was due in whole or in part to a person's negligence, these feelings multiply. Although some may tell you that you are being irrational or that you're looking for someone to blame, we know that many deaths are preventable, and that the very people who dismiss your feelings are often culpable.

If you feel there are unanswered questions about the death of your loved one or know that someone else's negligence is to blame, we can help uncover the truth, and obtain compensation for your loss. For a free consultation, please contact The Rubinstein Law Group, with offices in San Marcos, La Jolla, and San Diego.

Causes of Wrongful Death

Wrongful death is when one person's negligence or misconduct results in another person's death. Some of the most common causes of wrongful deaths include:

Professional Negligence: In most cases, this means medical negligence. By some estimates, medical errors kill as many as 200,000 Americans every year, five times as many as car accidents. Other professions' errors can also lead to death. A pharmacist who fills a prescription with the wrong drug, a lifeguard who fails to act, an emergency dispatcher who gives an incorrect address, or a police officer who shoots without thinking may all be responsible for causing a wrongful death. The Rubinstein Law Group can help hold those responsible accountable for their actions.

Drunk, Reckless, or Distracted Driving: A car is a deadly instrument, and when a person is irresponsible and causes a fatal car accident, that person should be held accountable for their actions. Criminal charges may make the responsible people pay their debt to society, but your civil lawsuit can make them pay their debt to you.

Harmful Products: Corporations care about profit, and they often knowingly manufacture defective or dangerous products, hoping that any deaths will not get back to them or that people will accept nominal settlements after a dangerous product kills a loved one. In every industry there are examples of corporations that knew about defects, but did not act, or acted in a way that saved them money instead of fixing the problem. To ensure corporate responsibility to their customers, they must be made to pay, showing them that putting people at risk is never good for business.

Putting Your Life Back Together

In many cases, the death of your loved one has left you with serious financial difficulties. The loss of a breadwinner combined with increased expenses due to medical bills and other expenses related to the death may leave you in a serious situation, unable to pay your credit card bills, mortgage, utilities, and car payments. In addition,  if you were injured in the same accident or have had to miss work due to grief, you may find yourself facing foreclosure, homelessness, or repossession of your property.

In addition to holding those responsible, a wrongful death lawsuit is about helping you meet your ongoing financial obligations. We can assist you in showing the extent of your damages, prove the real cost of your loved one's death, and seek compensation from those who caused that death.
