One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesBarstow sits at a crossroads of heavy through-traffic, with I-15, Main Street, and Lenwood Road carrying commuters, commercial trucks, and travelers passing through San Bernardino County every day. Among the 63 injury collisions recorded in the most recent final crash year, three resulted in traffic deaths — each one a family whose life changed in an instant. If you've lost a spouse, partner, parent, or child in a Barstow traffic collision, California law gives you a path to seek accountability, but that path has strict rules about who may file and how much time you have. We handle wrongful death claims and understand the legal deadlines and requirements that apply to your family's situation. You shouldn't have to figure out the law while you're grieving. Our team can explain your options clearly and handle the legal work while you focus on your family.
California limits standing in wrongful death cases to a spouse or domestic partner and children first, with other dependents or heirs eligible only in certain circumstances. We can help determine who in your family qualifies to bring the claim.
You generally have two years from the date of death to file a wrongful death claim in California, and that window shrinks significantly if a government entity — like a public road authority — may be involved. Waiting too long can permanently close the door on your family's claim.

*No attorney's fee unless there is a recovery. The client may be responsible for court costs and case expenses.
California law allows families to seek recovery for funeral and burial costs, the financial support the deceased would have provided, and the loss of their love, companionship, and guidance. These civil claims are separate from any criminal case that may also be pending.
