Wrongful Death Overview

Protecting Your Legal Rights in the Aftermath of a Fatal Accident

Aiken & Jacobsen, a Sacramento Law Firm for Victims of Wrongful Death

Losing a family member is never easy. It is especially difficult, however, when a death was caused by the careless, reckless or intentional actions of another person or business.

If you have recently lost a family member in some type of accident, protecting your legal rights probably wasn't the first thing you thought about. At the same time, you're here now, and it is important that you understand the vital importance of taking action to protect your rights as soon as possible.

Why do you need to act now?
 
Although you generally have two years to file a wrongful death lawsuit in California (only one year for medical malpractice-related fatalities, and only 180 days for cases involving government entities), legal filing deadlines can be easy to forget about while you're busy grieving and putting your life back together.
 
An important reason for you to act quickly is to preserve crucial evidence and witness memories that may be needed to establish the negligence and liability of the defendant.

At the Sacramento law offices of Aiken & Jacobsen, we have dedicated ourselves solely to representing victims of personal injury and wrongful death for 15 years. Our experience has taught us how profound these losses are and how deeply they impact the lives of our clients; it has also strengthened our resolve to do everything we can to help those clients obtain a measure of justice and maximum compensation for their losses.

During a free consultation, a lawyer from our firm will listen to you relate what happened or as much as you know. Based on that information, we should be able to provide you with a general but honest assessment of the case, explain your legal rights and options, and answer any questions you have. If you decide to hire our law firm, we will immediately begin working to preserve evidence, interview witnesses and prepare the strongest possible case for maximum compensation.

Our law firm has recovered millions of dollars in verdicts and settlements for previous clients and offers substantial experience with wrongful death cases stemming from a wide range of causes, including industrial accidents, defective products, construction accidents, property owner negligence (premises liability), car accidents, trucking accidents and motorcycle accidents.
 
Aggressive, Compassionate and Trustworthy

Throughout your case, you can rely on us to be here for you to provide compassionate and responsive service and to aggressively seek maximum compensation on your behalf.
