Claim it before someone else doesWhen a fatal collision happens on a corridor like Sepulveda Boulevard, Manhattan Beach Boulevard, Highland Avenue, or Rosecrans Avenue, the loss ripples through an entire family. While Manhattan Beach's most recent recorded year showed no traffic deaths alongside 102 injury collisions, any single fatal crash carries devastating weight for those left behind. California law allows a limited group of survivors — spouses, domestic partners, and children first, followed by certain dependents or heirs — to pursue a civil wrongful death claim separate from any criminal proceedings that may follow. Our team handles wrongful death claims and can explain standing, deadlines, and what losses may be recoverable. You shouldn't have to navigate a legal process alone while mourning someone you love. Reaching out costs nothing, and we work on contingency, meaning there's no fee unless a recovery is obtained.
California limits wrongful death standing to spouses, domestic partners, and children first, with other dependents or heirs eligible in certain situations. We can help clarify where your family fits before any claim moves forward.
California generally gives two years from the date of death to file a wrongful death claim, and that window shrinks significantly if a government entity was involved. Contacting us early helps protect that timeline.
