San Francisco Wrongful Death Lawyers
There is no greater loss than the untimely death of a loved one. A wrongful death is one that didn't have to happen and shouldn't have happened, but occurred because someone else was reckless, careless or negligent:
- A drunk driver got behind the wheel
- An asleep-at-the-wheel trucker
- A doctor made a fatal error
- A vicious dog attacked a child
- A manufacturer cut corners on safety

Wrongful death is the legal term used to describe the death of another caused through negligent acts. A wrongful death case is a lawsuit brought by the decedent's survivors to seek compensation for financial and emotional injuries suffered through a wrongful death. The circumstances of every wrongful death case are unique, but the result is the same: a life is lost and a family must go on without the love and support of the deceased.
At Rouda, Feder, Tietjen & McGuinn, our attorneys represent the survivors of those who suffered a wrongful death. We pursue financial compensation for your loved one's pain and suffering before death and for the losses you are faced with afterwards. These can include loss of companionship and loss of your loved one's financial contribution to the family. In California, wrongful death claims can be brought by the deceased's surviving spouse, children or parents.
Compensating Families, Effecting Change
Many of our wrongful death clients pursue these cases because they are unable to survive financially without the income of the deceased. Others take legal action in order to prevent other families from suffering a similar tragedy. Insurance companies and corporations change their conduct when they are forced to pay substantial verdicts and settlements in wrongful death cases as a result of their negligence and failure to use reasonable care.
The Law Offices of Rouda, Feder, Tietjen & McGuinn provides injured individuals with a voice against corporate negligence. Whether its profit over safety, or their failure to adequately assess the risks to others through the use of reasonable care, our attorneys help injured persons secure financial compensation that will assist them in the future with their medical expenses and lost wages.
