FREE Wrongful Death Case Consultation1-866 INJURY 2or1-866-465-8792

Fatal Car Collisions Car collisions resulting in wrongful death claims in Los Angeles are tragic events that devastate families. The loss of a spouse, parent, child or other family member from a car accident in Los Angeles or anywhere in California is horrific and is never forgotten. Significant losses from wrongful death accidents include high hospital and other medical charges, and the loss of companionship, love and financial support.

In Los Angeles and California, these incidents occur with alarming frequency. In 2023, according to the Los Angeles Times, there were more fatal car crashes than all homicides for the very first reported time in a decade as such traffic fatalities were at a record level in Los Angeles. In fact, it was reported that 336 people died in vehicle crashes in Los Angeles in 2023, and a little more than half of them – 179 of them – were pedestrians involved in these collisions. These large numbers underscore the urgent need for effective legal advocacy to address the aftermath of such tragic events.

These tragic, fatal car accidents cause profound emotional and financial consequences. As you navigate the aftermath of such a loss, it's crucial to have the right legal representation on your side. At Gary K. Walch, A Law Corporation, we understand the complexities of wrongful death cases and are dedicated to providing the guidance and care you need, while helping you seek justice and maximum compensation for your losses.

We had two prior attorneys who were unable to settle our car accident case. We then hired Gary and Robert Walch and they not only got us both great settlements, but personally spent time with us explaining everything clearly. We couldn't be happier. Thank you! A.M. and M.A.
