Experienced San Diego Wrongful Death Car Accident Lawyers Serving Southern California

In the last decade, the number of traffic fatalities has decreased significantly. Sadly, California roads and highways still see nearly 3,000 fatal car accidents every year, according to the California Highway Patrol. Many of these fatalities happen in accidents caused by negligence. Losing a loved one is always a traumatic experience, but a sudden death in a car accident can be even more devastating.

At the law firm of Martinez & Schill LLP, we provide skilled and compassionate legal representation and counsel to surviving family members. We understand how emotionally and financially difficult it is to deal with the sudden loss of a loved one. Our San Diego catastrophic car accident attorneys will guide you through the legal process as efficiently as possible so that you may obtain the compensation you deserve and can focus on healing.

Compensation For Fatal Car Accidents

When someone dies in a motor vehicle accident, insurance companies will typically attempt to rush a settlement with the surviving family members. Insurance companies understand that grieving family members do not always have the emotional capacity to fight for just compensation when dealing with such a devastating loss, and they seek to close the book on your claim as quickly and as inexpensively as possible. The only way to ensure that your rights are protected and that you are fully compensated for the wrongful death of your loved one is to hire an experienced attorney.

Our attorneys will take over the burden of fighting with the insurance company and aggressively represent your interests. They know how to fully quantify the financial damages associated with a wrongful death in order to justify the greatest possible financial recovery. You are entitled to compensation for:

  • Medical bills
  • Funeral expenses
  • Lost future wages
  • Loss of care, protection and assistance
  • Loss of consortium of a spouse
  • Emotional pain and suffering
  • Possibly, punitive damages
