Claim it before someone else doesLosing a family member because of someone else's carelessness reshapes everything, and Oildale families often face this alongside funeral arrangements, missed work, and unanswered questions about what happened on a local road or job site. California law gives certain surviving family members, starting with a spouse, domestic partner, or children, the right to bring a civil wrongful death action separate from any criminal proceeding tied to the incident. That claim can address funeral and burial costs, the financial support your loved one would have provided, and the loss of their companionship and guidance. Because Oildale sits within Kern County's court system, cases here move through local procedures that our team can help you navigate. We handle wrongful death claims and can review the circumstances and explain your options at no upfront cost, so you can focus on your family during a difficult time.
California limits who may bring a wrongful death claim, prioritizing spouses, domestic partners, and children before other dependents or heirs. We can quickly clarify where your family stands and what that means for your claim.
Most wrongful death claims must be filed within two years of the date of death, though claims against a government entity carry a much shorter window. Getting started early helps preserve your family's ability to act within these deadlines.
