One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesSan Clemente's roadways, including the I-5 corridor and busy stretches of Avenida Pico and El Camino Real, see hundreds of injury collisions each year, and occasionally a crash proves fatal. When that happens, the grief is immediate, but so are practical burdens: funeral arrangements, lost income the family depended on, and unanswered questions about what happened. California law gives certain surviving family members, starting with a spouse, domestic partner, or children, the right to pursue a wrongful death claim against the party responsible. This is a separate civil matter from any police investigation or criminal charges. We handle wrongful death cases on contingency, meaning there's no fee unless there's a recovery. If your family is grieving a preventable loss, reaching out costs nothing and puts you under no obligation.
California limits who may file, generally starting with a spouse, domestic partner, or children, then extending to other dependents or heirs if none exist. We can help determine where your family stands.
Most wrongful death claims must be filed within two years of the date of death, though claims against a government entity carry a much shorter deadline. Waiting can quietly close off options your family didn't know it had.
