One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesPatterson is a small, close-knit city, and when a traffic collision takes a life, the loss ripples through the whole community. Corridors like Sperry Avenue, 2nd Street, Route 33, and Las Palmas Avenue carry steady daily traffic, and while most crashes here result in injury rather than death, the families who face this worst outcome deserve clear answers about what comes next. California law limits who may bring a wrongful death action, generally starting with a surviving spouse, domestic partner, or children, and extending to other dependents or heirs when no closer family exists. We listen to what happened, evaluate the circumstances of the crash, and help you understand the path toward accountability and support for your family. There's no cost to talk with us, and no obligation to move forward.
California law prioritizes spouses, domestic partners, and children as the first parties allowed to file, but dependents or other heirs may qualify if no immediate family exists. Our team can help sort out who is legally entitled to bring the claim.
Wrongful death claims generally must be filed within two years of the date of death, and that window shortens significantly if a government entity, like a public roadway authority, may be responsible. Acting sooner preserves evidence and options.
