Santa Rosa Wrongful Death Attorney

What makes a Santa Rosa wrongful death case different

Sonoma County’s county seat sees the heaviest traffic volume in the region. The State Route 12 corridor, Mendocino Avenue, College Avenue, and the Highway 101 on-ramps generate a disproportionate share of injury collisions. Our office at 420 E Street is two minutes from the courthouse and ten from Sutter Santa Rosa Regional Medical Center.

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.
