One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesThree people died in traffic collisions in Lynwood during 2025, out of 304 injury crashes recorded citywide. Behind each of those numbers is a household in Los Angeles County trying to keep going without someone. If that is your family, you may be able to bring a wrongful death claim, a civil case that stands apart from anything a prosecutor does or does not pursue. California limits who can file: a surviving spouse or domestic partner and children come first, followed by certain dependents and heirs. The deadline is generally two years from the date of death, but it shrinks when a city, county, or state agency is involved, which matters on roads like Imperial Highway, Atlantic Avenue, Long Beach Boulevard, and the I-105. A claim can seek funeral and burial costs, the income and support your loved one would have provided, and the harder-to-measure loss of their love, companionship, and guidance. Our team handles wrongful death claims on contingency, meaning no fee unless there is a recovery.
California gives the surviving spouse or domestic partner and children the first right to bring a claim, then certain dependents and heirs. Sorting out who has standing early keeps the case from stalling later.
Most claims must be filed within two years of the date of death. If a public agency, such as the county or Caltrans, may share fault, a government claim is due far sooner, so waiting is a real risk.
