Claim it before someone else doesBishop sits along US-395 where the highway becomes N Main Street, and nearly everything in town — errands, work, the drive north or south — moves through that corridor. In 2025, public records show 14 injury collisions in Bishop, 16 people hurt, and one traffic death. Numbers like that stay small in a town of 3,806, which is exactly why a single loss lands so hard here. When a death was caused by someone else's carelessness — a driver, a property owner, a business, a care provider — California law gives certain family members a civil path to hold that party accountable. A wrongful death claim in Inyo County is separate from any criminal charge the district attorney may bring; it can move forward whether or not a prosecution does. We handle wrongful death claims directly and work on contingency, so nothing is owed unless there is a recovery.
California limits wrongful death standing to a spouse or domestic partner and children first, then certain dependents and heirs. We can tell you quickly whether you are among those who can bring the claim.
Most wrongful death claims must be filed within two years of the date of death, and the window is shorter when a government entity is involved. We track those dates from the start to ensure no deadline is missed.
