One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesWhen someone dies because another person was careless, the paperwork arrives before the grief has settled. In 2025, public records for Pittsburg list 3 traffic deaths, alongside 170 injury collisions and 237 people hurt, with the highest counts recorded along SR-4, Railroad Avenue and Harbor Street. Each number is a Contra Costa County household that changed overnight. A wrongful death claim in California is a civil case, separate from anything the district attorney may pursue. It exists so that a spouse, domestic partner, children, or in some situations other dependents and heirs can recover funeral and burial costs, the income the person would have provided, and the harder-to-measure loss of love, companionship and guidance. The deadline is generally two years from the date of death, and it shrinks when a public agency is involved. Our team handles wrongful death claims on a contingency basis, so there is no fee unless there is a recovery.
California limits wrongful death standing, giving priority to a surviving spouse or domestic partner and children before certain dependents and heirs. We can sort out who in your family has the right to bring the claim before any time is lost.
Most wrongful death actions must be filed within two years of the date of death, and the window is much shorter when a city, county or state agency is a potential defendant. We calendar those deadlines from the start, so they don't get discovered too late.

Recoverable losses go beyond funeral and burial expenses to include lost financial support and the loss of love, companionship and guidance. We work on contingency, so pursuing the full claim never depends on what your family can pay up front.
