One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesFour people died in traffic collisions in Desert Hot Springs during 2025, according to public records for this Riverside County city of roughly 28,000. Behind each number is a household now sorting through bills, paperwork and an empty chair. A wrongful death claim in California is a civil matter, entirely separate from any criminal case, and it exists so surviving family members can recover funeral and burial costs, the financial support the person would have provided, and the loss of their love, companionship and guidance. The corridors with the highest collision counts in public records are the ones residents drive every day: Palm Drive, Dillon Road, Pierson Boulevard and Hacienda Avenue. Not every wrongful death involves a vehicle, either; unsafe premises, defective products and medical errors can also form the basis of a claim. We handle these cases on contingency, meaning no fee unless there is a recovery.
California limits who may file: a spouse or domestic partner and children come first, followed by certain dependents and heirs. We can sort out standing before anything else.
Most wrongful death actions must be filed within two years of the date of death, and the window is shorter when a government entity is involved. Reaching out early protects that timeline.
