Yes. And you should contact a San Francisco wrongful death attorney at once. What you are really asking is: Can A Parent Make a Claim For Wrongful Death Because Of the Death Of An Adult Child? The answer is yes. Parents of adult children or offspring clearly have standing to sue if the deceased or injury victim did not leave surviving children. And, parents of adult children may bring a wrongful death action even if the injury victim left a surviving spouse or domestic partner.
Further, the parents may bring a wrongful death action if they can establish that they were dependent on the injury victim at the time of his or her death.
