One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesWestmorland is small enough that a loss is felt on nearly every block. With a population of about 2,267, word travels quickly when a family loses a parent, a child or a spouse, and the grief spreads well past one household. Public records for 2024 list two injury collisions and no traffic deaths within the city, yet a wrongful death claim rarely turns on a single year's totals. Fatal crashes on Route 85 or along W Main Street, a fall at a worksite in the surrounding fields, a medical mistake at a clinic across Imperial County, a defective product in the home — any of these can give rise to a civil claim when someone else's negligence caused the death. California limits who may bring that claim, sets a two-year deadline that shrinks sharply when a public agency is involved, and allows recovery for funeral costs, lost financial support and the loss of companionship and guidance. Our team helps Westmorland families pursue these cases, at no cost and without pressure.
California gives a surviving spouse or domestic partner and children the first right to bring a wrongful death claim, with certain dependents and heirs eligible in other situations. We can help you understand where your family stands.
Most wrongful death claims must be filed within two years of the date of death, and that window narrows considerably when a city, county or state agency is involved. Early contact keeps those deadlines from slipping by while you grieve.

*No attorney's fee unless there is a recovery. The client may be responsible for court costs and case expenses.
Recoverable losses reach beyond funeral and burial costs to include the financial support the person would have provided and the love, companionship and guidance your family has lost. We handle these cases on contingency, so there is no fee unless there is a recovery.
