One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesTwenty-three people died in Riverside traffic collisions in 2025. Each number is a household in Riverside County that had to arrange a funeral, sort through paperwork, and keep going without a paycheck, a parent, or a partner. Wrongful death claims exist for exactly that gap. Under California law, a surviving spouse or domestic partner and children have the first right to bring the case; if there are none, certain dependents and heirs may step in. The claim is civil, so it moves on its own track regardless of whether prosecutors ever file charges. Recoverable losses reach beyond funeral and burial costs to the financial support the person would have provided and the love, companionship, and guidance the family no longer has. Timing matters: the deadline is generally two years from the date of death, and shorter when a public agency is involved. Whether the loss happened on I-215, along SR-91, or on Van Buren Boulevard, our team can help. Contact us to discuss your family's options.
California limits standing to a spouse or domestic partner and children first, then certain dependents and heirs. Our team will sort out who belongs on the claim before anything is filed.
Families generally have two years from the date of death, but that window shrinks when a city, county, or state agency may share fault. We protect the claim by acting early.
