One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesPalos Verdes Estates is a small community in Los Angeles County, and the public record reflects that: in 2025 the city logged 11 injury collisions with 12 people hurt and no traffic deaths. Yet a wrongful death claim rarely depends on how a city's roads compare. Families here lose someone to a crash on Palos Verdes Drive West that happened on the way home, to a fall at a property that was never repaired, to a medical error, or to a defective product. When negligence takes a life, California law gives a surviving spouse, domestic partner, and children the first right to bring a civil claim, with certain dependents and heirs able to step in when there is no spouse or child. The clock is generally two years from the date of death, and shorter if a public agency is involved. Our team handles wrongful death claims on contingency, so you pay no fee unless we recover for you.
California limits who may bring a wrongful death action, starting with the spouse or domestic partner and children, then certain dependents and heirs. We can sort out standing before anything is filed.
Most claims must be filed within two years of the date of death, and the window is much shorter when a government entity may share fault. We calendar those dates from your very first conversation.
