Accidental Death Claims in Orange County, California

When a person unintentionally causes an accident which leads to another person’s death, a criminal lawsuit may be filed, but this does not help the family members of the victim. An attorney experienced in civil lawsuits can help you file a case in civil court. The civil court system deals judgments in the form of monetary penalties, rather than in jail time as the criminal court system does. The two court systems are distinct from one another. For example, if a drunk driver caused a fatal auto accident and was found not guilty in criminal court, the civil case would still be active and he or she could be found guilty in civil court.

At Donahoo & Associates, we believe that you should not have to worry about your financial future after the loss of a loved one. We utilize the civil court system to help our clients seek justice for the losses they have suffered. By providing you with the experienced representation of a wrongful death attorney from our firm, we offer you the opportunity to focus on the process of healing while we attend to the legal process.
