One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesMendota sits on the west side of Fresno County, a community of about 11,430 people where most families know one another by name. That closeness makes a sudden death harder to carry, and it also means the practical questions arrive quickly: who covers the funeral, how the household replaces a lost paycheck, what the family can do when someone else's carelessness caused the loss. Public records for 2025 show 12 injury collisions and 16 people hurt on Mendota's roads, with no traffic fatalities recorded that year; collision reports concentrate along Oller Street, Derrick Avenue, Route 33 and Route 180, and tend to cluster on Sunday evenings between 6 and 8 p.m. Yet a wrongful death claim is not limited to car crashes. Farm equipment incidents, workplace hazards, unsafe premises and medical errors can all lead to a civil action. We handle wrongful death cases on contingency, so there is no fee unless there is a recovery.
California limits standing to a spouse or domestic partner and children first, then certain dependents and heirs. We can explain where your family fits before anything is filed.
Most wrongful death actions must be filed within two years of the date of death, and the window is shorter when a government entity is involved. We protect that timeline from the start.
