Grandchildren usually experience the death of their grandparents due to causes related to their old age. When grandparents die from natural causes, there is no reason to pursue legal action. However, many grandchildren witness the wrongful death of their grandparents. Did your grandmother or grandfather die because of the negligence, recklessness, or maliciousness of a party? Do you believe that your grandparent would be alive if he or she had not been a victim of the liable party’s negligent, reckless, or malicious actions? If so, surviving family members might have grounds to file a claim for wrongful death. Are you unsure about your right to sue for the wrongful death of your grandmother or grandfather? Do you know your rights as a grandchild? Do you have any right to sue for the wrongful death of your grandparents?
Unfortunately, many grandchildren assume that they do not have the right to sue for the death of their grandparents. Because of this, they do not seek legal assistance.

Can I Sue for the Death of My Grandparent?
What can grandchildren do after the death of their grandparents? If a grandparent’s death is a result of natural causes, grandchildren would likely accept the death of their loved one and try to move on with their lives. However, if a grandparent’s death resulted from the negligent, reckless, or malicious actions of a party, grandchildren would be less likely to accept their death without attempting to sue. Unfortunately, many grandchildren who have recently lost their grandparents because of the actions of another party are not aware of their rights. Many grieving grandchildren contact our law firm with some of the following questions:
- Can grandchildren sue for the death of grandparents?
- Can a grandchild sue for the death of grandparents?
- Can a granddaughter sue for the death of her grandfather?
- Can I sue for the death of a grandparent?
- Can I sue for the death of my grandfather?
- Can I sue for the death of my grandmother?
- Can I take action against the party who negligently, recklessly, or maliciously killed my grandparent?
- Can a grandchild sue for the wrongful death of grandparents?
Have you asked yourself any of the questions listed above? If so, you might be interested in knowing that the answer to all of the questions above is yes. Grandchildren can sue for the wrongful death of their grandparents with the help of an experienced attorney. In California, only selected people can file lawsuits for the wrongful death of someone. In California, the first three types of people eligible to file a claim for wrongful death include surviving spouses, domestic partners, and children. If neither of these parties live, then the order of those with rights to file wrongful death claims is decided by intestate succession—or the method in which property is distributed when a deceased party does not leave a will. Based on intestate succession, grandchildren have the right to sue after spouses and children. If your grandparent does not have a living spouse or living children, you would have the right to file a claim for wrongful death. For more information on your eligibility to sue and intestate succession, you must contact the attorneys at Normandie Law Firm immediately.

Statute of Limitations
Do you have the right to sue for the wrongful death of your grandmother or grandfather? The answer to this question depends on many factors—including the time that your grandparent has been deceased. If your grandparent has been deceased for two years or more, you might no longer have the right to sue for his or her wrongful death. The statute of limitations to file a claim for the wrongful death of a loved one—including grandparents—is two years. Therefore, grandchildren only have two years from the death of a grandparent to file a wrongful death claim. What is a statute of limitations, and why does it apply to your claim? A statute of limitations is a deadline to sue—a time limit that is placed on all claims. Statutes of limitations are designed to protect defendants from unjust claims. Even if a defendant is guilty, claims can be considered unjust if the amount of time elapsed prevents the defendant from having any evidence to disprove claims. Since wrongful death claims only have a statute of limitations of two years, it is essential that you seek legal assistance as soon as possible. For more information about the statute of limitations that applies to your claim, you must immediately contact Normandie Law Firm and request to speak with a wrongful death lawyer.
