One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesOrland is a small place, home to roughly 7,550 people, and when a family here loses someone suddenly the whole town tends to feel it. Public records for 2025 show 13 injury collisions in Orland, with 20 people hurt and no traffic deaths that year. Fatal losses in Glenn County do not follow a schedule, though, and they often trace back to causes beyond the roadway: a farm or packing-shed accident, a fall on someone else's property, a medical error, or a crash out on Rt 32 or along Walker Street on a Friday afternoon. Under California law, a wrongful death claim belongs first to the surviving spouse or domestic partner and children, then to certain dependents and heirs. It is a civil matter, entirely separate from anything the district attorney may pursue, and it generally must be filed within two years of the death, sooner if a public agency is involved. Our team handles wrongful death claims on contingency, so there is no fee unless something is recovered.
California limits wrongful death standing to the 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 claims must be brought within two years of the date of death, and the clock runs much shorter when a city, county, or state agency is involved. Reaching out early protects options you may not know you have.
