One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesGustine is a small town, and when someone dies here because another person or company was careless, the loss is felt on 4th Street, along 6th Avenue, and across the rest of Merced County. The 2025 public record for Gustine lists 8 injury collisions and 12 people hurt, with no traffic deaths that year, and that is worth saying plainly. Yet wrongful death claims in a town of 5,756 are not only about crashes on Rt 140 or Rt 33. They arise from equipment failures, unsafe worksites, medical errors, and other preventable events that take a parent, partner, or child. California gives the spouse or domestic partner and children the first right to bring a claim, and generally allows two years from the date of death to file, less if a public agency is involved. Our team handles wrongful death cases on contingency, so you owe nothing unless there is a recovery.
California limits wrongful death standing to the spouse or domestic partner and children first, then certain dependents and heirs. We can sort out where your family stands before anything is filed.
Most claims must be filed within two years of the date of death, and the window is shorter when a city, county, or state agency is involved. Getting our team in place promptly protects that timeline.
