One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesMarysville is a small city of just over 12,000 people, and when a life is lost here the absence is felt on every block along 10th Street, E Street, 5th Street and B Street. The most recent final crash year, 2025, recorded 43 injury collisions, 66 people hurt and 3 traffic deaths within Marysville, here in Yuba County. Each of those numbers is a household changed forever. A wrongful death claim in California is a civil action, kept separate from any criminal charges the district attorney may or may not bring. The family, not the state, decides whether to pursue it. Standing is limited: a spouse or domestic partner and children come first, followed by certain dependents and heirs. The claim can seek funeral and burial costs, the financial support the person would have provided, and the loss of love, companionship and guidance. We handle wrongful death claims on contingency, so there is no fee unless there is a recovery.
California limits wrongful death standing to a spouse or domestic partner and children first, then certain dependents and heirs. We can sort out who in your family holds the right to bring the claim 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 city, county or state agency is involved. Acting early keeps those deadlines from quietly passing.
