Lost someone to negligence? We pursue accountability.
No settlement can replace the person you've lost. But accountability, honest answers, and your family's financial security matter — and pursuing them can be part of how a family begins to move forward. We handle these cases with the care your loss demands.
No fee unless we win. Hospitalized? We come to you.
United Citizen Law represents families in Sacramento wrongful-death claims — losses caused by car and truck crashes, dangerous property, and other negligence. We pursue the responsible parties for the family's financial and emotional losses while handling the legal weight so you can grieve.
When your family is grieving, you shouldn't fight alone
In the aftermath of a sudden loss, families face funeral costs, lost income, and a legal system that feels impossible to face while grieving. Insurers, meanwhile, move to limit what they pay. You should not have to carry that fight alone.
We take on the investigation, the paperwork, and the negotiation so your family doesn't have to. We pursue the full range of losses California law allows — from financial support the person would have provided to the loss of their love, companionship, and guidance — with the sensitivity these cases require.

Common questions
Who can file a wrongful death claim in California?
Generally the spouse or domestic partner, children, and certain other dependents or heirs. We help your family understand who has the right to bring the claim in your specific situation.
What can a wrongful death claim recover?
It can include financial losses such as lost support and funeral costs, as well as the loss of the person's love, companionship, and guidance. We pursue the full range the law allows.
Is a wrongful death claim the same as a criminal case?
No. A wrongful death claim is a civil action for your family's losses and can proceed regardless of whether criminal charges are filed. The goal is accountability and your family's security.
How long do we have to file?
Generally two years in California, though shorter deadlines can apply when a government entity is involved. Speaking with us early protects your family's rights.
What does it cost our family?
Nothing unless we win. The consultation is free and our fee comes only from any recovery.
