Child Wrongful Death Lawyers

Seeking Justice, Holding Wrongdoers Accountable

The loss of a child is a tragedy beyond words. When that loss is caused by negligence, recklessness, or intentional acts, the pain is compounded by a profound sense of injustice.  If your precious child has died due to someone else’s wrongdoing, you deserve answers, accountability and the financial resources to navigate this unimaginable time.

At Children’s Rights Defenders we work tirelessly to seek justice and answers for families who have lost children who were in foster care, shelters, or county custody.  While the government agencies involved may be willing to share some facts of the death of child, they are far from transparent with families about the circumstances surrounding the death.  For families who have suffered from the unexpected loss of a child while in the government system, we search for answers.

How We Help with Wrongful Death Cases Involving Children:

  • Investigating the Cause of Death: We meticulously review accident reports, medical records, and available evidence to determine who is responsible.
  • Building a Strong Case for Compensation: Our legal team works tirelessly to gather evidence, interview witnesses, and build a compelling case that maximizes the compensation you deserve.
  • Wrongful Death Lawsuits: We handle all aspects of wrongful death lawsuits, including negotiations with insurance companies and aggressive representation in court.
  • Compassionate Support: We understand your grief and offer empathetic guidance throughout the legal process.
  • Protecting Your Family’s Future: Compensation from a wrongful death lawsuit can help cover funeral expenses, lost income, and ongoing needs of surviving family members.

Why Choose Children's Rights Defenders:

  • Experience Handling Child Wrongful Death Cases: Our attorneys have extensive experience navigating the complexities of these sensitive cases.
  • Fierce Advocacy for Families: We fight relentlessly to secure the justice your child deserves and the resources to help you rebuild your life.
  • Compassionate Approach: We understand no amount of compensation can truly replace your loss, but we strive to ease your burden and empower you to move forward.

No amount of money can bring your child back, but holding those responsible accountable can provide a sense of justice and financial support during this difficult time.  Contact us today for a free consultation to discuss your legal options.

This man is better than a good attorney, he is a good human being. When I was faced with an overwhelming situation, and unable to retain him for myself, he STILL was kind enough to send me a copy of a winning claim for me to use as a template in my own case.

For those in SoCal who have had their children removed illegally, this is where you need to be. If he can't help, at the very least, he will direct you to it.
