One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesCoalinga is a small city, and losing someone here often means the loss is felt across a whole circle of family and neighbors. While recent public crash records show no traffic deaths counted in the latest reporting year, collisions still occur on corridors like Rt 33, Forest Avenue, E Polk Street, and E Elm Avenue, and fatal outcomes can happen even when yearly counts are low. If a crash, a workplace incident, or another party's negligence has taken a family member, California law gives certain surviving spouses, domestic partners, children, or dependents the right to bring a wrongful death claim. This is a civil case, entirely separate from any criminal charges that may or may not be filed. We handle wrongful death claims for Fresno County families, and can explain standing, deadlines, and what losses may be recoverable, so you can focus on your family while our team handles the legal groundwork.
California limits who can file — typically a spouse, domestic partner, or children first, with certain dependents or heirs eligible afterward. We can help sort out who has standing before time or opportunity is lost.
Wrongful death claims generally must be filed within two years of the date of death, and that window shrinks considerably if a government entity is involved. Getting in touch early preserves your options.
