Wrongful Death Attorneys in California

Losing a loved one due to someone else’s negligence or wrongful act is an unimaginable tragedy. Wrongful death claims provide a legal path to hold those responsible accountable and secure compensation that can help support you during this difficult time. At The Kaufman Law Firm, we handle these sensitive cases with compassion and fierce advocacy for grieving families.

Wrongful Death Claims

Founding Attorney | AV-Rated Trial Lawyer | 30+ Years of Legal Experience

Wrongful death occurs when an individual dies due to the negligence, recklessness, or intentional misconduct of another party. These cases often arise from car accidents, medical malpractice, workplace incidents, defective products, or dangerous premises. The loss can cause profound emotional pain and serious financial hardships for surviving family members.
We understand that no amount of money can replace your loved one, but compensation can help cover funeral expenses, lost income, loss of companionship, and emotional suffering. Martin J. Kaufman is an AV-rated Super Lawyer with decades of experience guiding families through the complexities of wrongful death claims. Our firm aggressively investigates every detail to build a strong case against those responsible.
Whether your loss was sudden or the result of long-term negligence, we fight to obtain the justice and financial support your family deserves.
