Claim it before someone else doesWhen a collision takes a loved one's life on streets like 13th Street or 9th Street, the grief is immediate, but the legal steps often aren't clear right away. Imperial Beach sees dozens of injury collisions each year, and while recent local data shows no traffic deaths in the latest final count, San Diego County as a whole continues to see fatal crashes tied to corridors carrying heavy weekday traffic. California law gives surviving spouses, domestic partners, and children the first right to bring a wrongful death claim, with other dependents or heirs eligible in certain situations. Our team handles wrongful death claims on contingency, meaning there's no fee unless a recovery is made. Reaching out costs nothing and starts with a conversation, not a commitment.
California generally allows two years from the date of death to file a wrongful death claim, though claims against a government entity carry a much shorter window. Missing these deadlines can close the door on recovery entirely.
California law prioritizes a surviving spouse, domestic partner, or children to bring a wrongful death action, with other dependents or heirs eligible under specific circumstances. We can help clarify who qualifies to pursue a claim.

*No attorney's fee unless there is a recovery. The client may be responsible for court costs and case expenses.
Because there's no medical treatment to recover for the deceased, California law instead allows families to seek funeral and burial costs, lost financial support, and compensation for the loss of love, companionship, and guidance.
