Can I Sue for the Wrongful Death of My Sibling?
Many distraught and grieving siblings contact our law firm with many questions to which they cannot find the answers. Some of the questions are reproduced below:
- Can I file a wrongful death lawsuit for my sibling in California?
- Can I file a wrongful death lawsuit for my brother?
- Who can sue for the wrongful death of a sibling in California?
- Can I file a wrongful death lawsuit for my sister?
- Can I sue for the death of my brother?
- Can I sue for the death of my sibling?
- Can I sue for the death of my sister?
- Can I sue for the death of my step-brother?
- Can I sue for the death of my step-sister?
- Does brothers or sisters have the right to file a wrongful death lawsuit?
Do you know the answers to the questions above? Do you know whether you have the right to pursue a wrongful death claim? The answer to all of the questions above is yes. However, siblings can only bring forth wrongful death claims when there is no one in the victim’s line of decent. In other words, spouses/domestic partners, children, and grandchildren are the first three parties (in order, followed by parents). If the victim does not have a living spouse, child, or parents, then siblings have the right to file wrongful death claims for the death of their siblings—including step-siblings. If you are interested in filing a claim for the death of your sibling, you must seek legal counsel immediately. Our attorneys can guide you through the process of suing for the wrongful death of your brother, sister, or step-sibling.
Can siblings sue for the death of another sibling and recover compensation?
If you recently lost your sibling because of another party’s recklessness or negligence, in California, you can sue and recover compensation. What types of compensation might you be eligible to receive? Siblings who file claims for the wrongful death of their siblings might recover different forms of compensation. The different types of compensation that siblings might be eligible to recover are listed below:
- Punitive damages
- Pain and suffering
- Medical expenses
- Loss of income
- Loss of financial support
- Loss of consortium
- Funeral and burial costs
Although there are many types of compensation available for recovery, you should not assume that you will be eligible to receive compensation for every category mentioned above. Instead, you should contact our law firm and speak to a wrongful death lawyer as soon as possible. Our attorneys have experience in wrongful death claims and will evaluate the details of your claim to establish the type and amount of compensation you might receive. When you speak to our attorneys, you will be speaking to the most committed lawyers in the area; our attorneys are committed to helping you recover the maximum amount of compensation available for your sibling wrongful death claim.

Statute of Limitations for Your Wrongful Death Claim
Do siblings have a right to sue for the death of a brother or sister? As discussed above, siblings can file wrongful death claims for the death of their brothers or sisters. However, siblings might lose their right to sue if they hesitate to file their claim. How could siblings lose the right to file a wrongful death claim for the death of another sibling? If siblings do not file their claims within the statute of limitations established by California law, they might lose their right to sue. A statute of limitations is a timeline in which a plaintiff can sue. For wrongful death claims, the statute of limitations is two years. Therefore, siblings have two years from his or her other sibling’s death to file a wrongful death lawsuit. If the claim is not filed within the two years allowed by the statute of limitations, the sibling will lose his or her right to sue. For more information of the statute of limitations that applies to your wrongful death claim, you must immediately speak with our attorneys.
