Claim it before someone else doesLosing a family member in a traffic collision changes everything, and it happens more often than most Paradise residents realize — recent records show 3 traffic deaths and 45 injuries across 33 injury collisions in a single year, with Friday afternoons between 4 and 6 p.m. showing up repeatedly on corridors like Skyway, Clark Road, Pearson Road, and Pentz Road. If you've lost a spouse, partner, parent, or child on one of these roads, California law gives certain family members and dependents the right to pursue a civil wrongful death claim separate from any criminal proceedings. 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. Our team doesn't charge upfront fees — we handle wrongful death claims in Paradise and can explain standing, deadlines, and what a claim might involve, without pressure or obligation.
California law prioritizes a spouse, domestic partner, or children to bring a wrongful death claim, with other dependents or heirs eligible only in certain situations. We can help sort out who has standing before time runs short.
Most wrongful death claims must be filed within two years of the date of death, and that window shrinks significantly if a government entity — like a public roadway agency — may be involved. Getting in touch early preserves options families may not realize they have.

*No attorney's fee unless there is a recovery. The client may be responsible for court costs and case expenses.
Under California law, recoverable losses can include funeral costs and lost financial support, but also the loss of love, companionship, and guidance that's harder to put a number on. We can help a grieving family understand the fuller scope of a claim.
