Who Can File for Wrongful Death in California?

California law imposes a one-action rule for wrongful death lawsuits, meaning all eligible beneficiaries must join a single lawsuit and are not permitted to file separate claims.

Primary Beneficiaries

Surviving spouses
Domestic partners
Children of the deceased

Secondary Beneficiaries

Parents
Putative spouses
Stepchildren
Minors who were financially dependent on the deceased and resided in the household for 180 days before their passing

Wrongful death cases with multiple or without primary beneficiaries can become more complicated under California law. At Quill & Arrow, we understand these complexities and handle all filing, communication, and negotiations to ensure that wrongful death benefits are issued to the proper beneficiaries in a timely manner.
