One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesLosing someone suddenly leaves a family sorting through grief and paperwork at the same time. In Newport Beach, the roads involved are often ones families drive every day. Public records for 2025 show 419 injury collisions across the city, 583 people hurt, and 2 traffic deaths, with Jamboree Road, MacArthur Boulevard and the SR-1 stretch of West Coast Highway carrying the largest share of reported collisions. A wrongful death claim is a civil action, separate from any criminal case. California limits who can bring it: 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, and shorter when a government entity is involved. Recoverable losses include funeral and burial costs, the financial support your loved one would have provided, and the loss of their love, companionship and guidance. We handle Newport Beach wrongful death claims on a contingency basis, so there is no fee unless there is a recovery.
California gives standing first to a spouse or domestic partner and children, then to certain dependents and heirs. We can explain where your family fits before anything is filed.
The two-year window runs from the date of death, and it is shorter when a city, county or state agency is involved. Acting promptly protects that timeline.
