The Law Office of Scott Righthand litigates wrongful death cases on behalf of family members who have lost a loved one in the San Francisco Bay Area.  The firm handles cases in Oakland, San Francisco, Concord, Fremont and San Jose where a person's intentional, reckless or negligent conduct wrongfully caused the death of another.

Attorney Scott Righthand has extensive experience handling wrongful death cases.  He has secured substantial wrongful death judgments and settlements on behalf of clients who have lost loved ones or family members due to medical malpractice, slip and fall accidents, premises liability and negligent child care.

In a wrongful death case, Attorney Righthand represents survivors of the deceased, which may include the spouse, children and siblings.  While no amount of financial compensation can adequately replace a life, our legal system offers survivors monetary damages to cover these types of losses:

• funeral and burial expenses;
• lost wages and benefits, including future salaries and health insurance;
• lost inheritance; and
• loss of consortium, including loss of love, affection, companionship, and assistance.

If you lost a family member due to a wrongful death, we may be able to obtain compensation for your losses. Call the Law Office of Scott Righthand at (415) 544-0115.  We provide a free initial consultation.
