One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesLosing someone in a preventable crash is a weight no family should carry alone, and La Verne's mix of local streets and the SR-210 corridor means traffic-related deaths, while thankfully rare here, do happen. In the most recent year on record, La Verne saw 115 injury collisions and one traffic death, a reminder that even a small city sees serious consequences on roads like Arrow Highway and White Avenue. California law gives certain family members and dependents the right to pursue a wrongful death claim, but that right is time-limited and the list of who may file is specific. We handle these cases on contingency, meaning there's no fee unless money is recovered. You focus on your family. Let our team with the right experience handle the legal groundwork alongside you.
California limits who can bring a wrongful death claim, generally starting with a spouse, domestic partner, or children, then extending to other dependents or heirs. We can help sort out who has the right to file in your family's situation.
Most wrongful death claims in California must be filed within two years of the date of death, and that window shrinks significantly if a government entity, like a public road authority, may be involved. Waiting too long can close the door on recovery entirely.
