Curtis Legal Group is the Northern California wrongful death law firm that delivers results, fast communication, and a history helping the families of wrongful death victims.
Why Choose Curtis Legal Group for Your Wrongful Death Case
Losing a loved one is devastating. You should not have to face insurance companies, legal deadlines, and complex litigation while you are grieving. Our skilled and experienced team handles the legal burden so your family can focus on healing.
AV Preeminent & Super Lawyers, Recognized for Excellence
Our attorneys have earned the highest peer ratings and Super Lawyers honors, placing them in the top 10% of attorneys nationwide. This recognition is not just an award; it is a reflection of decades of experience, ethical standards, and proven results for families who have lost loved ones due to negligence. When you hire us, you are hiring a team that the legal community respects and that insurance companies take seriously.
We Know How Insurance Companies Handle Wrongful Death Claims
Several of our attorneys previously worked for insurance companies, including Attorney Andrew Mendlin who was an insurance claims adjuster. We know the strategies insurers use to pressure grieving families into accepting lowball settlements. We know how they value, and devalue, a life. We use that insider knowledge to push back, negotiate aggressively, and fight for the full compensation your family deserves, not what the insurance company wants to pay.
Deep Roots in Northern California
Our attorneys are not outsiders. We live, work, and serve in the same communities where our clients live. From Rotary Club leadership to local bar associations to coaching youth sports, we are invested in the families and businesses of Northern California. When you choose Curtis Legal Group, you are choosing attorneys who know your community, understand your local courts, and genuinely care about your family’s future.
Bilingual Attorneys, We Serve All of Our Community
We have bilingual attorneys fluent in Spanish, ensuring that every family, regardless of language, can access the legal help they need during such a difficult time. Whether you prefer English or Spanish, our team is here to help you understand your rights and pursue the compensation your family deserves.
No Win, No Fee, You Pay Nothing Unless We Win
We believe every family deserves access to justice, regardless of their financial situation. That is why we work on a contingency fee basis. You pay nothing upfront, and we only get paid if we recover compensation for you. There is no financial risk to hiring us.
Types of Damages Available in Wrongful Death Cases
When a family loses a loved one due to someone else’s negligence, they may be entitled to compensation for both economic and non-economic losses. Our Northern California wrongful death lawyers fight to recover all available damages on your behalf.
Economic Damages
Funeral and Burial Expenses: The cost of final arrangements for your loved one
Medical Bills: Any medical expenses incurred before the death
Lost Financial Support: The income your loved one would have provided to the family
Lost Benefits: Health insurance, pension, retirement contributions, and other benefits
Loss of Household Services: The value of services your loved one provided
Non-Economic Damages
Loss of Companionship: The emotional bond and relationship with the deceased
Loss of Guidance: The loss of advice, instruction, and parental support
Loss of Love and Affection: The emotional connection and care you lost
Loss of Consortium: The loss of the marital relationship and intimacy
Pain and Suffering: The emotional distress caused by the loss
Survival Actions
In addition to a wrongful death claim, California law may also allow a survival action on behalf of the deceased person’s estate.
While a wrongful death claim compensates surviving family members for their own losses, a survival action is different. It allows the estate to pursue certain legal claims that belonged to the deceased person before they passed away. In other words, it seeks compensation for the harm the deceased person experienced, not the harm their death caused to the family.
Our attorneys can assist you in learning more about filing a survival action after a wrongful death.
