- Child SupportIf the deceased individual has no other kin in his or her line of descent, then any other relative with a claim on the deceased’s estate through intestate succession may file a wrongful death claim. Financial dependents may also file claims for wrongful death. This may include a putative spouse and that putative spouse’s children who received child support or alimony from the deceased, or the deceased’s stepchildren who financially depended on the deceased. For additional information regarding who can file a wrongful death claim, talk to a skilled wrongful death lawyer in Long Beach.

- Traffic ViolationsSpeeding and alcohol abuse often go hand in hand and together cause almost half of motorcycle accidents. Speeding may occur even if the motorcycle is traveling slower than the posted limits. Many factors including weather and traffic conditions may make slowing the motorcycle the only safe option. Operating a motorcycle safely often means exercising quick reflexes to avoid road debris or a driver that did not see you. Alcohol reduces your ability to react quickly and contributes to many accidents. Additionally, alcohol degrades inhibitions and makes drivers more likely to operate their motorcycle too fast or recklessly.
- MisdemeanorsThe court could also convict a dog owner of criminal charges. The owner could face criminal charges if he or she knew that the dog was prone to mischievous or aggressive behavior and did not take the necessary steps to keep everyone else safe, and the dog killed or seriously injured someone. It is a felony if the dog killed the victim and a misdemeanor or felony if the dog injured someone.

- Medical MalpracticeMedical malpractice describes any situation in which a doctor or healthcare professional causes harm to a patient. Physicians take an oath to do no harm, and when they violate this oath due to negligence, carelessness, or thoughtless treatments, patients can suffer serious effects and even life-threatening complications. Southern California residents should understand their rights and what constitutes medical malpractice. If you or somebody you love was harmed by a doctor, physician, or other healthcare professional, consult a Long Beach medical malpractice lawyer to learn more about your available legal options.
- Auto Accidents
- Dog BitesHowever, the strict liability law does not apply to every dog bite incident. A victim can only use the strict liability law if a dog bit him or her in either a public place or when he or she was lawfully allowed on private property. For example, it is legal for a mail carrier to be on private property, so if a dog bites him or her on the property, the owner could be responsible under the strict liability law.
