At K&S Injury Group, our wrongful death attorneys in Westlake Village stand with families throughout Agoura Hills and Ventura County, helping them find answers and accountability after a tragic loss.

1️⃣ What Counts as a Wrongful Death in California?
Under California law, a wrongful death occurs when a person dies because of another party’s negligence or misconduct. Common examples include:
- Auto and motorcycle collisions
- Truck and commercial vehicle accidents
- Unsafe premises or construction sites
- Defective products or equipment
- Medical negligence or delayed care
Our team investigates the full circumstances to prove fault and pursue the maximum damages available under California’s wrongful-death statute.
2️⃣ Who Can File a Wrongful Death Claim?
Generally, the following parties may bring a claim:
- Spouse or domestic partner
- Children or stepchildren
- Parents or legal guardians
- Dependent heirs (in certain cases)
Our wrongful death lawyers serving Agoura Hills and Westlake Village help families understand their rights and file claims within California’s two-year statute of limitations.
3️⃣ Damages You May Recover

- Medical bills and final care costs
