Santa Ana Wrongful Death Car Accident Statistics
One of the most common reasons for hiring a Santa Ana wrongful death lawyer is due to the frequent occurrences of car accidents. The streets of Santa Ana are one of the most dangerous in Orange County.
According to the California Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System(SWITRS), 11 people were killed as a result of Santa Ana auto collisions. Whether the problem is due to an abnormally high number of unsafe drivers, or the actual streets of Santa Ana are contributing to the high fatality rate is debatable, but those who drive through the area should be particularly cautious.
California has constructed a law that forces negligent parties to compensate for the losses of the deceased surviving family members.
The California wrongful death statute states, "A cause of action for the death of a person caused by the wrongful act or neglect of another may be asserted by any of the following persons or by the decedent's personal representative on their behalf: The decedent's surviving spouse, domestic partner, children, and issue of deceased children, or, if there is no surviving issue of the decedent, the persons, including the surviving spouse or domestic partner, who would be entitled to the property of the decedent by intestate succession."
Surviving family members can file for what is known as "Pecuniary Damages". Pecuniary or monetary damages are defined as financial losses that can be calculated.
This means that if a person loses their life due to a third party's carelessness, the family or the spouse of the deceased can claim compensation for damages such as:
- the income that the deceased would have earned in their lifetime
- funeral bills
- recovery for companionship
Non-Pecuniary losses are calculated by the pain and suffering of the surviving family members and are difficult to determine. The damages that can be classified as non-pucinary are emotional anguish, damage to relationships and being able to perform daily tasks due to a distressed mental state.
Non-Pecuniary losses do not have a set amount and are dependent on various factors.
Elements that are taken into account when deciding the amount of non-pucinary damages can include the age of the person who is filing the claim and the seriousness of the emotional trauma.
