Not all personal injury attorneys have the same resources, experience, or aggressive approach. Here is what sets Gonzales Law Offices apart.

❤️

Compassionate, Experienced Team

We understand the grief and trauma your family is experiencing. We handle every legal detail so you can focus on your family — not paperwork and insurance companies.

💰

Maximum Financial Recovery

We pursue all available damages: funeral/burial costs, lost income your loved one would have earned, loss of companionship, emotional distress, and punitive damages when appropriate.

⚖️

Full Liability Investigation

We investigate every responsible party — drivers, employers, vehicle manufacturers, government agencies — to ensure all accountable parties are held responsible.

⏱️

Urgent Evidence Preservation

Wrongful death cases require immediate action. We deploy investigators on day one to preserve skid marks, vehicle damage, surveillance footage, and witness testimony.

🏥

Medical & Accident Experts

We work with leading accident reconstruction experts, medical specialists, and economic experts to document the full financial and emotional impact of your loss.

We navigate wrongful death claim filings, estate administration, and California probate court to ensure every step is handled correctly and efficiently.

Our Process

How We Handle Your Case — Step by Step

From the moment you call, we take over so you can focus on recovery.

Wrongful death cases have time-sensitive evidence. Call 909-587-6336 as soon as possible. We deploy investigators to preserve critical evidence and begin building your case.

Identify All Liable Parties

We investigate the at-fault driver, their employer, the vehicle manufacturer, and any government entities whose negligence contributed to the crash.

Document All Damages

We work with economic experts to calculate all financial losses: future income, benefits, household contributions, and the emotional value of your loved one's companionship.

File Claims Against All Insurance Policies

We identify every applicable insurance policy — personal auto, commercial, umbrella policies — and file claims simultaneously to maximize total recovery.

Pursue Justice

We negotiate aggressively and are fully prepared to take your case to trial. Insurance companies pay more when they know we will fight every claim through verdict if necessary.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

In California, wrongful death claims can be filed by the deceased person's spouse or domestic partner, children, grandchildren (if children are deceased), and in some cases, other dependents. An estate claim (survival action) may also be filed separately to recover for the deceased person's own pre-death pain and suffering.

Wrongful death damages include: funeral and burial expenses, medical bills incurred before death, the financial support the deceased would have provided, the value of household services, loss of companionship and consortium, and emotional distress. In egregious cases, punitive damages may also be available.

California wrongful death cases have a 2-year statute of limitations from the date of death. However, we strongly urge families to contact us immediately — evidence disappears, witnesses become unavailable, and the at-fault party's insurance company is already working to limit their liability.

We pursue every available source of recovery: UM/UIM coverage on the deceased's own policy, employer liability if the at-fault driver was working, and any additional parties who contributed to the crash. No family should be left without compensation due to an uninsured driver.
