One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesLosing a family member in a traffic collision changes everything, and Culver City families are often left sorting through grief while also facing unfamiliar legal deadlines. Los Angeles County recorded 80 injury collisions and 113 injured people in the most recent final crash year, with one traffic death — a reminder that even a single loss ripples through an entire household. Corridors such as Washington Boulevard, Sepulveda Boulevard, and the I-405 see steady traffic volume, and collisions there can escalate quickly. California law gives close family members, and in some cases dependents, a path to pursue a wrongful death claim, but that path has real time limits and specific rules about who may file. Our team handles wrongful death claims and can walk you through what happened, what the law allows, and what steps might come next.
California limits wrongful death standing primarily to a spouse, domestic partner, or children, with certain other dependents or heirs eligible in specific situations. We can help determine who in your family qualifies before any claim moves forward.
Most wrongful death claims in California must be filed within two years of the date of death, though claims against a government entity — such as a public roadway agency — can require action much sooner. Missing these deadlines can close off options permanently, so timing matters.

California law recognizes that a wrongful death claim can include lost financial support and funeral costs, but also the loss of love, companionship, and guidance a family member provided. This is a civil matter, separate from any criminal charges connected to the same crash.
