Claim it before someone else doesGrief does not follow a schedule, but California law does. That tension is what makes wrongful death claims so hard for families in King City to face alone. A civil wrongful death action is separate from any criminal case the Monterey County District Attorney may bring; it exists so a family can recover funeral and burial costs, the financial support the person would have provided, and the harder-to-measure loss of love, companionship and guidance. Standing is limited: a surviving spouse or domestic partner and children come first, followed by certain dependents and heirs. Most claims must be filed within two years of the date of death, and far sooner when a government entity is involved. King City's 2025 public record shows 21 injury collisions and no traffic deaths, a reminder that these claims arise from many settings beyond the road, including workplaces, medical care and unsafe property. We work on contingency, so there is no fee unless there is a recovery.
California limits wrongful death standing to a spouse or domestic partner and children first, then certain dependents and heirs. We can sort out who belongs in the claim before anyone misses a step.
The general two-year deadline runs from the date of death, and claims against a city, county or state agency must be filed much sooner. We protect your family's options by moving quickly.
