Cloverdale Wrongful Death Attorney

What makes a Cloverdale wrongful death case different

Highway 101’s long rural stretches between Healdsburg and Cloverdale produce some of the most serious injury crashes in the county — high speeds, no median, and limited shoulders. Logging-truck and big-rig involvement is more common here than further south.

California’s wrongful death statute (CCP § 377.60) is one of the broader statutes in the country in terms of who may bring a claim — spouse, domestic partner, children, and in some cases parents and stepchildren.
