California limits who may bring a wrongful death claim, starting with a spouse, domestic partner, or children before other dependents or heirs. Our team can help sort out who in your family qualifies to file.
Most wrongful death claims in California must be filed within two years of the date of death, and that window shrinks considerably if a government entity, such as a public road agency, may be involved. Waiting to seek guidance can cost your family options.
