Earthquakes have caused more deaths than hurricanes, and hurricanes have caused more deaths than lightning.

The number of deaths from California earthquakes varies by event. Major earthquakes like the 1906 San Francisco earthquake resulted in thousands of deaths, while more recent earthquakes have caused fewer casualties due to improved building codes and early warning systems.
The 2009 Sumatra earthquakes, twin earthquakes that struck West Sumatra, Indonesia, resulted in the deaths of over 1,100 people.
According to the US Geological Survey for the years from 2000 to 2010 there have been an average of 63,000 deaths per year due to earthquakes globally. This is based on the estimated number of earthquake deaths annually. The annual estimated figures can vary significantly from year to year depending on the occurrence and location of large earthquakes. For example in 2000 there were only 231 estimated earthquake deaths globally, whereas in 2004 there were 228,802 (which most likely corresponds to the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake) and in 2010 there have been an estimated 226,215 (due in part to the very large number of deaths in the January 2010 Haitian earthquake).

They're not exactly considered beneficial. They are inevitable and unavoidable.

Aftershocks cause the most earthquake-related deaths and injuries.
In terms of human deaths accountable to each, earthquakes are way ahead.
15,647 died and 3,006 injured
Yes. Earthquakes are a common occurrence in California, and some of the faults have been known to produce major earthquakes. It is inevitable that more major earthquakes will strike California in the future, but there is no way of knowing when or where they will be centered.

Yes, you do however you can also measure it by deaths and casualties.
One reason would be the amount of people where the earthquake has hit.
it varies on how power the earthquake is and how the environment where the earthquake happened is. if the earthquake is powerful and the environment is strongly built the average kill will be very less compared to a strong earthquake and an environment which is not built strong enough.
