One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesSan Marino is a small community, and a death here rarely stays private for long. Neighbors along Huntington Drive and Los Robles Avenue notice when a family suddenly goes quiet. In 2025 the city recorded 64 injury collisions and 91 people hurt, with no traffic fatalities in the public record that year. That is welcome news, but it does not mean wrongful death claims never arise in San Marino. Fatal losses can follow a crash on San Marino Avenue or California Boulevard, a medical error at a facility in Los Angeles County, a fall on someone else's property, or a defective product. Under California law, a spouse, domestic partner or child usually holds the first right to bring a claim, and the clock runs two years from the date of death, sooner if a public agency is involved. We handle wrongful death matters on contingency, so nothing is owed unless there is a recovery.
California limits standing in wrongful death cases, with a surviving spouse or domestic partner and children first in line, followed by certain dependents and heirs. We can sort out where your family stands before anything is filed.
A wrongful death action in California generally must be filed within two years of the date of death, and the window is considerably shorter when a city, county, or state agency is involved. Getting started early keeps those dates from slipping.
