One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesAuburn is a small city, and a sudden loss here is felt well beyond one household. In 2025, the city recorded 52 injury collisions and 70 people hurt, with no traffic deaths reported that year, a reminder that most families in Auburn will never face this. Some still do, whether from a crash on I-80, Grass Valley Highway, Auburn Folsom Road or Route 49, or from a fall, a workplace incident, or a medical error. California law gives certain survivors the right to bring a civil wrongful death claim. A surviving spouse or domestic partner and children have first standing, followed by specific dependents and heirs. The claim is separate from any criminal case, and it does not depend on one. The deadline is generally two years from the date of death, and it can be much shorter when a public agency is involved. We handle wrongful death claims on contingency—you pay nothing unless we recover compensation for your family.
California limits who can file, starting with a spouse or domestic partner and children, then certain dependents and heirs. We can sort out who belongs in the claim before anything is filed.
Two years from the date of death is the usual limit, but a claim against a city, county or state agency must be presented far sooner. We help protect that window from the start.
