One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesLosing someone you love changes the shape of every ordinary day, and Pismo Beach is a small enough town — roughly 8,162 residents — that a single death is felt well beyond one household. Public collision records for 2025 show 58 injury crashes in the city and 73 people hurt, with no traffic deaths logged that year. That is welcome news, but wrongful death claims here arise from more than the roadway: a fall at a rental property, a medical error, a boating or workplace incident. When a death is traced to someone else's carelessness, California law gives a surviving spouse or domestic partner and children the first right to bring a civil claim, with certain dependents and heirs eligible after them. The window is generally two years from the date of death, and shorter when a public agency is involved. We handle wrongful death cases on contingency, so there is no fee unless there is a recovery.
California limits who may file a wrongful death claim, beginning with the spouse or domestic partner and children, then certain dependents and heirs. Our team will confirm where your family fits before anything else.
Most claims must be filed within two years of the date of death, and the deadline is shorter when a city, county or state agency is involved. Reaching out early keeps every option open.
