Additional Information: If your loved one was fatally injured as the result of another person's negligent actions, he or she has been the victim of a wrongful death. As the family member of someone who has died as the result of an accident caused by the reckless actions of another person, you have the right to hold the negligent party responsible for what they have done. At Gillin, Jacobson, Ellis & Larsen, our Northern California wrongful death lawyers have a successful track record of representing wrongful death cases for more than three decades. We understand that a wrongful death case is very difficult for the decedent's loved ones, and we will use our knowledge of wrongful death law to settle the case as efficiently and quickly as possible.

A wrongful death may result from any number of dangerous situations, some of which are listed below:

* Motor vehicle accidents
* Motorcycle accidents
* Truck accidents
* Defective product accidents
* Drunk driver accidents
* Construction site accidents
* Traumatic brain injury
* Toxic chemical exposure

In California the statute of limitations (the length of time in which a person may file a lawsuit) regarding a wrongful death is usually two years from the time of death, with a few exceptions. In addition to acting within the time restraints in your case, the areas of law which are involved in wrongful death litigation are extremely complicated, making it very important to contact a wrongful death attorney as quickly as possible to ensure that you are able to file a suit against the negligent party with confidence.

The two most important things you must do if you suspect a wrongful death is to speak with a qualified lawyer as soon after the incident as possible, and avoid signing any documents or agreeing to any settlement without legal representation. Gillin, Jacobson, Ellis & Larsen have helped our clients file all the necessary paperwork and legal documentation, and have successfully awarded our clients settlements that were much higher than initial offers.

Each wrongful death case is unique and involves numerous elements that must be thoroughly examined. At GJEL, our law office has the capability to undertake an investigation into all California wrongful death cases that we represent. If we take your case we will handle every aspect of your wrongful death case including all communication to other parties involved. The attorneys of GJEL have the skill and knowledge which are required to pursue even the most challenging wrongful death cases.
