Sebastopol Wrongful Death Attorney

What makes a Sebastopol wrongful death case different

Highway 12 between Sebastopol and Santa Rosa is a recurring crash location. Bodega Highway leading toward the coast is another common spot, particularly for motorcycle and bicycle crashes.

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.
