5-star Reviews

The lawyers at RMD are everything you could want. They are experts in their field, and extremely efficient, thorough and caring. They called me back immediately and spent a substantial amount of time explaining the process to me and quite honestly calming me down. I never felt pressured or felt a salesman vibe. I did get the sense that I was in good hands. They handled everything with minimal stress for me, which was key. Thanks for everything.

I have worked with John, a managing partner, and have been very happy with his casual every-man approach to some rather complex issues. He put things in plain, easy to digest language and made me feel comfortable with the process and his handle on the situation. Would definitely recommend.

John went above and beyond to assist me with my personal injury case after I was involved in a car accident. I spoke to several attorneys regarding my case and although I decided against hiring one due to the minor damages on my car, John was the only attorney I felt like I could trust. I was truly blown away by his kindness, honesty, and willingness to answer all of my questions and go over different options with me. He truly went above and beyond and showed a great amount of compassion and integrity. If I'm ever involved in an accident again, I will not hesitate to call John at RMD Law.

Through out the entire process, RMD law was super informative and constantly updated me as often as they could! Chelsie and Aria were who I spoke with the most, and they worked around my schedule to ensure I could get the best service possible. I am so grateful for how easy they made this process after my car accident. Thank you team for everything!

Finding and deciding to choose RMD Law was the best decision we could have made. The staff was incredibly nice, supportive, and a pleasure to work with. A big thank you to Kathia for being in constant communication, and getting us the treatment we needed. The process was incredibly easy because of your guidance.

Frequently Asked Questions

What qualifies as a wrongful death in California?

In California, a wrongful death is a legal concept that arises when a person’s death is caused by the negligence, recklessness, or intentional misconduct of another party. Wrongful death claims allow certain surviving family members or beneficiaries to seek compensation for the losses they have suffered as a result of the death.

How much can you sue for a wrongful death in California?

There is no fixed or specific limit on the amount of compensation that can be awarded in a wrongful death case in California. The amount you can sue for can vary widely based on several factors, including the circumstances of the case, the financial losses suffered by surviving family members, and the available evidence.

What is the one action rule for wrongful death in California?

The one-action rule states that a plaintiff (the person bringing the lawsuit) must bring all claims arising from a single incident in a single lawsuit. Designed to promote efficiency in the legal process, this rule essentially doesn’t allow a plaintiff to file separate lawsuits for personal injury and wrongful death if both claims arise from the same underlying incident. Instead, they are required to bring both claims together in a single lawsuit.

At RMD Law, we believe that reputation is everything. When clients trust us with their cases, we do everything in our power to help guide them. That means personal service and sharp advocacy. We care about the details of your case because that is how we can get you the best settlement.
