San Francisco Wrongful Death Lawyer

As shocking as it is to receive the tragic news that a loved one has died, it can be more surprising still to discover that the reason they died was because of the poor choices, reckless actions or unpreparedness of a recreational company, team or coach.

While sports can be risky and people do assume some risk of injury or death when they participate, it's wrong to assume that every sports-related death was unavoidable. Sometimes it's just plain negligence.

Getting Compensation and Justice in Sports Accident Cases

If your loved one died in a recreational accident — in a boating, swimming or jet ski accident, in an accident at a ski resort, as a result of coaching errors, in a bike accident — you want answers. And you want to hold someone accountable for your losses.

At the San Francisco law firm of Abramson Smith Waldsmith, LLP, we have been helping the families of wrongful death victims get compensation and justice for more than 30 years. We have handled a wide range of fatal accident cases throughout California, including a number of wrongful death actions relating to sports and recreational activities.

We invite you to review the verdicts and settlements we've achieved for our client families. Not only has our work helped families move forward with their lives after a tragic loss, there are cases in which our work has resulted in significant safety improvements to products and programs.

These safety improvements may never have occurred if someone hadn't held the company, coach or program accountable for their products, actions or inactions.

You Have a Right to Compensation

If you've lost a loved one due to someone else's negligence, you have a right to be compensated for end-of-life medical bills, funeral expenses, loss of income to the family, loss of consortium (companionship) and the loss to your children of a parent's guidance. In addition to these damages, a survival action may be brought for suffering your loved one endured prior to death.
