What Is Considered a "Wrongful" Death?

The term "wrongful death" refers to any death that occurs due to the negligence or wrongdoing of another person or entity. Wrongful deaths are typically caused by car accidents, defective products, workplace accidents, and medical malpractice.

When a loved one dies due to wrongful conduct, you and your family have the right to seek justice and fair compensation for your loss.

Who Can File a Wrongful Death Claim?

In most cases, only surviving family members can file a wrongful death claim. Surviving family members include spouses, children, parents, and siblings. Only a seasoned Pasadena wrongful death lawyer can help you navigate the legal system and file a claim on behalf of your family.

Cheng & Associates, we recognize that wrongful death cases are not just about legal claims; they are about the profound impact on families and communities. Understanding these effects can help you navigate this challenging time.

Here are some key aspects to consider:

    "You are an amazing attorney and person."
    I am so grateful for your passion, dedication and professionalism.
    - Regina
    "He was able to analyze the details of my case in minutes, providing legal citations specific to California law, and re-assuring me not to worry."
    His opinions were based on years of experience within the judicial system; he has knowledge of individual judges and their values; and, he was very generous with his time.

    "My mother recently had an issue with a wrongful termination from a big "not to be named" hospital system in the LA area and I wanted to make sure she found a honest and professional lawyer."
    My mother recently had an issue with a wrongful termination from a big "not to be named" hospital system in the LA area and I wanted to make sure she found a honest and professional lawyer. I looked to my trusty YELPers and found Paul Cheng. The office could not formerly take her case, but he sent a very thoughtful and kind email regarding the fact that they are limited in the cases they can take on but would be happy to answer further questions as needed. Saddened by the fact, I still sent a nice email back thanking him for his time. He then offered to have his office write a complimentary letter on her behalf to see if an informal settlement could be made. Honestly, if I ever had to go to court, I would want a lawyer like him. Finally, a lawyer to redeem the profession!

    "I would HIGHLY recommend Paul P. Cheng and his Law firm the Cheng Law Group."
    I would HIGHLY recommend Paul P. Cheng and his Law firm the Cheng Law Group. My wife and I were being sued by a former employee of ours so we took to Yelp, and after reading the many amazing reviews of his law firm we decided to give him a call for a free consultation. Soon thereafter, we were sitting in Mr. Cheng's conference room with an amazing view by the way discussing our entire case. Mr. Cheng was kind, courteous, professional and very knowledgeable about employment law. I was actually surprised about how much time he took with us going over the detailed information we brought, explaining every single option we had with our case. At the end of our consultation and without asking us to retain his firm, he offered to write a complimentary letter to the opposing law firm saying that we denied all of their claims and that any further communication could be directed to his law firm; now what other lawyer would ever offer to do this? After doing so we never heard from that former employee or her law firm again and I'm sure the reason is because they knew with their baseless claims there was nothing they can do against a real lawyer like Mr. Cheng. So if you are looking for a lawyer with actual integrity and concern for the well fair of others I would certainly recommend giving Mr. Cheng a call, you won't regret it.

    "Thank you very much for your help and generosity!"
    Attorney Paul Cheng is extremely helpful and knowledgeable! His legal insights helped me to navigate through the complex real estate transactions involving multiple mechanics liens and commercial r.e. lenders. Thank you very much for your help and generosity! =)

    "Paul Cheng is an amazing person."
    I would first like to say that Paul Cheng is an amazing person. Not only is he very intelligent, but he is also compassionate about the work he does. That being said, he went out of his way to help my mom with her case. He respected her and always made himself available to answer any of her questions. Our family is very grateful to Paul and we highly recommend his law office.

    "I definitely recommend him to anyone who needs a lawyer."
    I hired Paul last year on matter with my company. I had talked with 3 other lawyers and decided to go with Paul. The thing i like most about him is he's a straight forward no nonsense type guy. He tells it like it is and seems more interested in doing his job, more so than how much money he is going to make off of you. I definitely recommend him to anyone who needs a lawyer.
    - Jeff B.
    "Very much appreciated everything you had done."
    Paul - I want to say that I very much appreciated everything you had done for me beginning with that first sad day when you took the time to hear my concerns. Beyond legal advice, the care as a human being. It has been emotionally stressful for me, but you and your entire team have been incredibly supportive. Now it is on to another chapter of my life; a much more positive one. Lastly and most importantly, I want to thank you for your affectionate guidance, for your understanding, your interest in me, your belief that I was worth being your client.
