One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesLosing a family member in a traffic collision changes everything, and it happens more often than most La Palma residents realize. Orange County's public crash records show that even a small city like La Palma, with under 16,000 residents, recorded a traffic death alongside dozens of injury collisions in the most recent year on file. Corridors such as La Palma Avenue, Walker Street, and Orangethorpe Avenue see the heaviest volume, with Thursday evenings between 5 and 7 p.m. showing up often in the data. If a crash on one of these roads took a spouse, parent, or child, California law gives certain family members and dependents the right to pursue a wrongful death claim, separate from anything that happens in criminal court. Our team handles these claims directly and can explain what applies to your family's situation and help you move forward at your own pace.
California limits wrongful death standing to spouses, domestic partners, and children first, with other dependents or heirs eligible in certain situations. We can help clarify where your family stands before any deadline passes.
Most wrongful death claims must be filed within two years of the date of death, and that window shrinks significantly if a government entity was involved, such as a city road defect. Acting early preserves evidence and options.
