One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesTehachapi is a mountain community of about 13,021 people, so when someone here dies because of another person's carelessness, the loss reaches neighbors, coworkers and congregations, not just one household. For 2025, the city's public records list 24 injury collisions and 35 people hurt, with no traffic deaths recorded that year. A wrongful death claim is not only about the road, though. Families may have a case after a fatal crash on Tucker Road or along W or E Tehachapi Boulevard, but just as often after a workplace accident, an unsafe property, a defective product or negligent medical care. California law gives a spouse or domestic partner and children the first right to bring the claim, followed by certain dependents and heirs, and it generally allows two years from the date of death to file. We handle wrongful death claims on contingency, so you can discuss your case without adding another bill to everything you are already carrying.
California limits standing to a spouse or domestic partner and children first, then certain dependents and heirs. We can sort out quickly whether you or another relative should bring the claim so the family moves together.
Most wrongful death claims 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 involved. Getting started early keeps those dates from slipping by while you grieve.
