One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesLosing a family member in a traffic collision upends everything, and in a small, close-knit city like El Segundo, the loss is felt widely. Los Angeles County crash data shows traffic deaths do happen here, even amid the city's relatively low collision numbers, often along corridors like Imperial Highway and Douglas Street where commuter and cross-town traffic mixes. California law gives surviving spouses, domestic partners, and children the first right to bring a wrongful death claim, with other dependents or heirs eligible in certain situations. These cases are separate from any criminal charges that may follow a fatal crash, and they exist to help families recover losses tied to the death, not to punish. If you've lost someone in El Segundo, our team can walk you through your options at no upfront cost. You focus on your family; we handle the legal groundwork.
California limits who can file a wrongful death claim, starting with a spouse, domestic partner, or children, then extending to certain other dependents or heirs. We can clarify where your family fits before any deadline passes.
Most wrongful death claims must be filed within two years of the date of death, though claims against a government entity carry a much shorter window. Waiting too long can close off options entirely.
