Claim it before someone else doesTwelve people died on Lancaster's roads in 2025, the most recent final count on record. Behind each of those numbers is a household in Los Angeles County trying to figure out how to keep going. If the person you lost was killed by someone else's carelessness, whether on Avenue J, along Sierra Highway, or anywhere else in the city, California law gives certain family members the right to bring a wrongful death claim. This is a civil case, and it stands on its own. A criminal prosecution, or the absence of one, does not decide it. Standing goes first to a surviving spouse or domestic partner and to children; other dependents and heirs may qualify after them. The clock generally runs two years from the date of death, and it can be much shorter if a public agency is involved. We handle these cases on a contingency basis, so nothing is owed unless there is a recovery.
California limits who may bring a wrongful death action, starting with a spouse or domestic partner and children. Our team can explain where you and other relatives stand before anything is filed.
Families generally have two years from the date of death, but claims involving a city, county, or state agency require notice on a far shorter timeline. Getting in touch soon protects that window.
