Funeral Home Negligence Lawyer

When a loved one passes away, honoring their memory through a respectful burial or cremation is one the most important steps a family can take. Recently bereaved families place an enormous amount of trust in funeral homes and their employees.

Sadly, many funeral homes abuse this sacred trust. Accordingly, families can be devastated as a result of funeral home greed, incompetence, or negligence. Abhorrent cases of perversion are often reported as well. When a funeral home breaks their sacred trust with a bereaved family, a personal injury lawsuit can be the best way to hold them accountable and ensure justice is served via a financial damages award.

Below we’ll outline the ways in which a family can obtain justice for a case of funeral home negligence.

What is funeral home negligence?

When a funeral home commits any act which harms another person through recklessness or carelessness, negligence has occurred. This can include an intentional act, an unintentional error, an omission, fraud, deception, and even improper billing practices (hidden fees or surcharges).

Funeral home negligence can appear in many different ways. Funeral home directors and their employees are humans and of course prone to mistakes. Whether your case of funeral home negligence is due to incompetence or negligence, the funeral home attorneys at Dordulian Law group will fight to recover any eligible financial damages on your behalf.

The goal of a personal injury lawsuit is to recover compensation for all damages (economic or non-economic) that were caused by your accident. Depending on the details of your claim, you may be entitled to different types of damages.

In personal injury cases, there are typically four types of damages:

  • Punitive damages: Although they are rare and difficult to obtain in California, there is no limit on the amount of such damages. Punitive damages can only be awarded if certain requirements are met. Your Los Angeles personal injury lawyer must show that the negligent party was reckless or careless. DLG will seek punitive damages in all applicable cases.
  • Special Damages: This includes things like rent or relocation expenses, car payments, and much more. The case must meet certain criteria to recover special damages. This type of damage is usually awarded when the injured party cannot return to work or suffers financial hardship.
  • Monetary Damages: These damages are most commonly recovered in personal injury claims, including compensation for medical costs, property damage, and other tangible losses.
  • Wrongful Death Damages: These types of damages are pursued in tragic cases where a death was caused by someone’s negligence. They are awarded when the victim does not survive an accident and the family sues the responsible party. The family may be entitled to compensation for funeral costs, medical expenses, loss of consortium, loss of affection, and more.

The standard statute of limitations for personal injury claims in California is two years from the date the incident occurred. That means you have two years from the date of discovering an instance of funeral home abuse or neglect to file a civil claim seeking to recoup financial damages. Exceptions to the two-year statute of limitations may apply in some cases, perhaps reducing the amount of time you have to file a claim.

To ensure your claim is filed in a timely manner and you do not miss a deadline, be sure to reach out to an experienced DLG funeral home lawyer as soon as possible to discuss your claim.

Depending on the circumstances of your case, various types of damages may be recoverable. Some common damages recovered in funeral home abuse and neglect claims include:

  • Emotional distress
  • Reduced quality of life/loss of enjoyment
  • Funeral expenses
  • Pain and suffering
  • Therapy or mental health expenses related to incident
  • Other miscellaneous damages
