How a Wrongful Death Claim Pays for Funeral Expenses

If your loved one passed as a result of the negligent or intentional conduct of another person, business, or government agency then a liability claim can be pursued by a competent wrongful death lawyer. 

If the claim is against a government agency special claim forms must be completed and submitted within six (6) months of your loved one's death.  If the claim is against private parties the statute of limitation is generally two (2) years from date of death. 

You should never attempt to ascertain whether or not the statute of limitations has expired.  Every case has unique facts that should be evaluated by a competent wrongful death lawyer.

In some cases, a wrongful death claim can be filed immediately with the insurance carrier for the responsible party and funeral expenses can be advanced.  This is a tricky process that should be handled by competent legal professional.  If you provide inaccurate information it could jeopardize the entire wrongful death claim resulting in no compensation being paid.

Funeral Services in the Inland Empire

Riverside County and San Bernardino County have many professional funeral homes to chose from.  Talking to friends and family about their experiences with local funeral homes will help you chose a quality funeral home professional.  Cost lists can often be reviewed and provided so that you can compare the cost list of one service to the other. 

As a wrongful death lawyer, I can assist you with the funeral home selection and payment process thereby alleviating some of the pressures associated with handling these matters.

The California Department of Consumer Affairs has created a
Consumer Guide to Funeral and Cemetary Purchases.  You are encouraged to use this site to learn what to expect.  Another source for information is the Funeral Consumers Alliance of California.
