One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesWhen someone dies because another person was careless, the paperwork arrives before the grief has even settled. Families in Chino Hills know this too well. In 2025, the city logged 96 injury collisions and 131 people hurt, and two people lost their lives. Many of the reported incidents cluster along SR-71, Chino Hills Parkway, Peyton Drive and Carbon Canyon Road, with Friday evenings between 5 and 7 p.m. showing the highest counts. A wrongful death claim is a civil action, kept separate from whatever the San Bernardino County District Attorney may pursue. Under California law, a spouse or domestic partner and children hold the first right to file, followed by certain dependents and heirs. The deadline is generally two years from the date of death, and it shrinks considerably when a public agency is involved. We handle these cases on a contingency basis, so there is no fee unless there is a recovery.
California limits standing to a spouse or domestic partner and children first, then to certain dependents and heirs. We can sort out who in your family has the right to file so the claim is not dismissed on a technicality.
Most wrongful death actions must be filed within two years of the date of death, and the window is much shorter when a city, county or state agency may share responsibility. Early guidance protects your options.
