Hill v. So. Cal. Edison Co.
Shirley Hill (Hill) sued Southern California Edison Company (SCE) and others for the wrongful death of her adult son, James Bean (Son). The trial court found Hill lacked standing to bring the wrongful death lawsuit because she was not financially dependent on Son. (Code Civ. Proc., § 377.60, subd. (b).)[1] The trial court entered summary judgment against Hill and dismissed Hill’s complaint as it pertained to SCE. Hill contends the trial court erred by entering summary judgment against her because she was financially dependent on Son, and therefore had standing to bring her lawsuit. We affirm the judgment.
