One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesLosing a family member in a traffic collision changes everything, and Goleta families are not immune to this reality — the city recorded a traffic death alongside 129 injury collisions in the most recent reporting year, many along corridors like Calle Real and Cathedral Oaks Road. California law gives surviving spouses, domestic partners, and children the first right to bring a wrongful death claim, with other dependents and heirs eligible in certain circumstances. These claims are separate from any criminal case tied to the same crash, and they exist to address the financial and emotional toll left behind: funeral and burial costs, lost income and support the deceased would have provided, and the loss of companionship and guidance. We handle wrongful death claims on a contingency basis, so there's no upfront cost to your family. Our team can walk through the legal options and explain the two-year deadline.
California limits who can file a wrongful death claim, starting with a spouse, domestic partner, or children before other dependents or heirs become eligible. We can clarify where your family fits before time becomes an issue.
Wrongful death claims generally must be filed within two years of the date of death, and that window shortens significantly if a government entity is involved. Waiting to seek guidance can quietly cost a family its legal options.
