One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesLa Habra Heights is a small hillside community of about 5,454 people in Los Angeles County, and a loss here is felt across neighborhoods, not just within one home. Public records show 12 injury collisions and 14 people hurt on local roads in 2025, with no traffic deaths recorded that year. Wrongful death claims in this community are not limited to the roadway, though. Harbor Boulevard, Hacienda Road, East Road, and Harbor Road carry the most reported collisions, but families also come to us after a fall on someone else's property, a medical error, a defective product, or a workplace incident. Under California law, a wrongful death case is a civil action, entirely separate from any criminal proceeding, and it belongs to the surviving spouse or domestic partner and children first, then to certain dependents and heirs. The clock runs two years from the date of death, and shorter if a public agency may be responsible. We handle wrongful death cases on a contingency basis, so there is no fee unless you recover.
California limits standing to the spouse or domestic partner and children first, then certain dependents and heirs. We can explain where your family fits before anyone files paperwork.
Most wrongful death actions must be filed within two years of the date of death, and the window narrows considerably when a city, county, or state agency is involved. Early contact protects that timeline.
