Wrongful death is a legal term used to describe a claim for compensation brought by a victim’s family against a wrongdoer and/or insurance company. To be successful in a wrongful death claim, you must show that the death was caused in whole or in part by the conduct of the defendant, that the defendant was negligent or strictly liable, and that surviving family members or beneficiaries were damaged by the wrongful death.

We understand that nothing will adequately compensate you for your loss or bring back your loved ones, but we will fight on your behalf to get you the compensation we know they would have wanted you to have.

With offices throughout northern California, the personal injury attorneys at Weber & Nierenberg have extensive experience handling wrongful death claims. We built our firm by protecting the rights of victims and their families and forcing insurance companies to compensate them for their loss. We use our extensive combined experience to fight for the maximum amount of compensation that you and your family deserve.
