The Best California Wrongful Death Lawyers

July 20, 2026 | by Robert Walch

If your loved one is killed in an accident in California, you need to hire the best California wrongful death lawyers in order to make sure your rights, as the heirs of the deceased, are properly protected. Our California wrongful death lawyers know how to handle your wrongful death case from start to finish and we have obtained numerous multimillion dollar settlements on wrongful death claims.

A wrongful death is the most serious type of case that can be handled by California personal injury lawyers. The biggest mistake you can make when deciding what lawyer to pick would be using an inexperienced lawyer or a lawyer you see on tv or billboard ads. Many of these advertising law firms are what we refer to as “mills”, meaning their goal is to just get as many clients as possible, without regard to the quality of the services provided to their clients. Many clients of those firms just feel like a number instead of a victim with a name.

Our wrongful death law firm has been handling wrongful death and serious injury cases for over 50 years. There are very few California law firms that can say that. We also do not just take easy wrongful death claims. We will look at any wrongful death potential claim to see if there is anything we can do to help our prospective clients, even if the police report is 100% against the deceased. We have won those cases and obtained excellent settlements on wrongful death claims where the victim was placed at fault. Just because a police report blames your loved one who was killed, who does not get to give the police their side of the story, does not mean that you do not have a valid wrongful death claim. We will examine it and look into it to see if there is any hope for a positive financial recovery for the heirs of the victim.

You Don’t Know Which Hernia Mesh You Had? Here’s How to Find Out — and Why It Matters for a Claim

You’ve been dealing with pain, infection, or another serious problem after your hernia surgery. Maybe you’ve even heard about the lawsuits and wondered if you have a case.

The information you need almost always exists somewhere, and you don’t have to track it down alone. As a winning Los Angeles hernia mesh law firm, we are here to help every step of the way.

Never Sprayed Roundup, But Diagnosed With Cancer? How Washing a Spouse’s Work Clothes May Have Exposed You

Never Sprayed Roundup, But Diagnosed With Cancer? How Washing a Spouse’s Work Clothes May Have Exposed You

You never touched a sprayer. You never worked the fields, mowed the greens, or mixed weed killer. So when a doctor told you that you have non-Hodgkin lymphoma, a lawsuit was probably the last thing on your mind. After all, the Roundup cases you’ve heard about involve people who used the product for years — not their families.

But there’s a part of this story that rarely makes the headlines. For decades, spouses and family members were exposed to glyphosate at home, often without ever realizing it. If you washed a loved one’s work clothes, shook the dust off their boots, or breathed in the residue clinging to their uniforms, you may have had far more contact with this chemical than you ever knew.

Vermont Just Banned Paraquat: What It Means for Your Legal Rights

Vermont Just Banned Paraquat: What It Means for Your Legal Rights

Vermont made history in 2026 by becoming the first U.S. state to ban paraquat, a widely used weed killer that researchers have connected to Parkinson’s disease. Governor Phil Scott signed H.739 into law on May 26, 2026, after the bill passed with bipartisan support. The law phases out paraquat use across the state, taking effect November 1, 2026, with a transition period running until 2030 for fruit orchards and small fruit crop farmers.

The decision puts Vermont at the center of a national conversation about a chemical that’s been sprayed on American farms for more than 60 years. According to AP News, the ban reflects mounting concern about paraquat’s link to Parkinson’s disease—a connection that has also fueled thousands of lawsuits against the companies that made and sold it.
