Petaluma Wrongful Death Attorney
Injured in a wrongful death case in Petaluma?
What makes a Petaluma wrongful death case different
Petaluma’s combination of high commuter traffic and historic downtown streets makes it a frequent collision location. The 101 / Lakeville interchange and East Washington Street regularly appear on Sonoma County crash reports.
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.
