Wrongful Death

Wrongful Death Fighting to Protect Your Future

After Your Loved One Has Died

The wrongful death lawyers at Testa & Associates provide competent and compassionate legal representation to grieving families who have lost a family member due the negligent or reckless actions of another person in a catastrophic accident. We prepare wrongful death cases for court, fighting hard to ensure that surviving family members receive the financial recovery they deserve.

Testa & Associates’ attorneys have been helping families receive just and fair compensation since 1975. If you have suffered the loss of a loved one in a fatal car accident, trucking accident, from the use of a defective product (such as a defective tire, seat belt, or airbag, or from an SUV rollover), or on dangerous premises, contact a wrongful death attorney at Testa & Associates for a free initial consultation.

Settlement: $2.55 million

The California wrongful death attorneys at Testa & Associates secured a settlement for the wife and small children of a scientist killed when he was struck by a car while riding his bike to work. The driver of the car was an under-insured motorist; we were able to obtain $50,000 from his insurance policy. We then pursued a civil lawsuit against the driver and against his employer, as he was driving under the scope of his employment.

Settlement: $1.5 million

In this very challenging case, we secured a settlement on the eve of trial for the father of a 35-year-old unmarried son who died in a rollover accident caused by a defective tire. The young man was thrown from the SUV when it rolled over; he died instantly. He was not wearing a seat belt. Improper design of the SUV was a contributing factor to the rollover accident and the auto manufacturer and the tire manufacturer were parties to the lawsuit.

We understand that this is a difficult time for you and your family. A loved one has died needlessly and you are facing a drastic change in life, all the while grieving your loss.

Whether your loved one was a family breadwinner, the caregiver to children or elders, a child or infant, that person played a very special role in the life of your extended family and your community.

Testa & Associates lawyers work with empathy as well as experience to secure financial compensation that corresponds with your loss, including:

  • Loss of earnings
  • Loss of comfort and companionship
  • Loss of parental guidance
  • Pain and suffering

The process of bringing a successful wrongful death lawsuit can be long. Rest assured that the legal team at Testa & Associates will be with you the entire time, providing the support and encouragement you need to get through difficult times.

We care deeply for our client families and will fight for your financial recovery.
