One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesEighty-seven people died on San Diego's streets and freeways in 2025, according to the most recent final collision records for the city. Behind each of those counts is a household somewhere in San Diego County trying to figure out what comes next: bills still arriving, a paycheck gone, an empty chair at dinner. Many of those collisions occurred along I-5, I-805, El Cajon Boulevard and University Avenue, the corridors that carry the heaviest traffic through the city, and reported crashes here tend to cluster on Friday evenings between 5 and 7 p.m. A California wrongful death claim is a civil case, separate from anything the district attorney may pursue. It exists so a family can recover funeral and burial costs, the financial support the person would have provided, and the loss of their love, companionship and guidance. We handle wrongful death claims on contingency, meaning you owe nothing unless there is a recovery.
California limits standing: a surviving spouse or domestic partner and children come first, followed by certain dependents and heirs. We can explain where your family fits before anyone files paperwork in San Diego County.
Most wrongful death claims in California must be brought within two years of the date of death, and the window is considerably shorter when a city, county or state agency is involved. Early guidance keeps those dates from slipping by during a hard season.
