One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesMaricopa is a small place—roughly 1,200 people in Kern County, gathered along California Street and Route 166, where most folks know each other by name. When someone here dies because another person or business was careless, the loss ripples through the whole town. Public records for 2018, the most recent finalized year, list no traffic deaths and no injury collisions inside city limits. Those numbers are a comfort, but they don't cover every fatal event a family might face: a crash farther out on Rt 166, a workplace accident, a medical error, or an unsafe property. Under California law, a wrongful death case is a civil claim brought first by a surviving spouse, domestic partner, or children, then by certain dependents or heirs. It runs separately from any criminal charges. Recoverable losses can include funeral and burial expenses, the financial support the person would have provided, and the loss of their love, companionship, and guidance. We help Maricopa families understand their legal options, at no cost, so you can ask questions before deciding anything.
California limits standing to a surviving spouse or domestic partner and children first, then certain dependents and heirs. We can sort out where your family fits before anything is filed.
Most wrongful death claims must be filed within two years of the date of death, and the window is shorter when a government entity is involved. Getting started early protects your right to act.
