One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesLosing a family member in a Ridgecrest traffic collision changes everything, and the last thing a grieving family should have to manage is a legal process with strict rules and a ticking clock. Kern County recorded a traffic death alongside dozens of injury collisions in the most recent final year of data, a reminder that these losses happen on ordinary roads people drive every day, including corridors like N China Lake Boulevard and E Ridgecrest Boulevard. California law gives certain surviving family members, starting with a spouse, domestic partner, or children, the right to pursue a wrongful death claim, but that right comes with a two-year filing deadline that moves faster when a government entity is involved. We review what happened, explain who qualifies to file, and handle the case on contingency, meaning there's no fee unless there's a recovery. You focus on your family; let our team carry the legal weight.
California limits who can bring a wrongful death claim, prioritizing spouses, domestic partners, and children before other dependents or heirs. We clarify quickly who in your family qualifies to file.
You generally have two years from the date of death to file, and that window shortens considerably if a government entity or public roadway maintenance is involved. Acting early preserves evidence and protects your family's rights.
