Why You Need a Wrongful Death Lawyer in Glendale

Losing a loved one in a sudden, preventable accident is devastating. When negligence is involved—whether in a car crash, pedestrian incident, or bicycle accident—families have the legal right to pursue justice through a wrongful death claim.

Navigating these cases in California is complex. You must prove liability, calculate future financial support, and comply with strict deadlines under California Code of Civil Procedure §377.60. Insurance companies often try to minimize payouts, especially when no victim is left to speak for themselves.

At Ness Law Firm, our Glendale wrongful death lawyers provide compassionate support and aggressive representation for grieving families. We’ve helped clients after fatal accidents on roads like Brand Boulevard or highways like the I-5. While no legal action can undo your loss, we fight to hold wrongdoers accountable and secure compensation to help ease your financial burden and honor your loved one’s memory.
