Wrongful Death Representation: Pursuing Justice for Lives Lost Too Soon

Losing a loved one due to someone else’s negligence or misconduct is one of the most painful and traumatic experiences a family can endure. When that loss results from wrongful death, it isn’t just a personal tragedy — it is a violation of legal and moral principles that demands accountability. At The Christian Contreras Firm, PLC, we are committed to fighting for families who have lost loved ones to negligence, police misconduct, or systemic failures, ensuring that justice is pursued and that responsible parties are held fully accountable.

A Firm Rooted in Justice and Advocacy

Based in Los Angeles, California, The Christian Contreras Firm has earned a powerful reputation for taking on some of the most challenging and emotionally devastating wrongful death cases. With a deep commitment to human rights and civil justice, Christian Contreras, the firm’s founder and CEO, leads with passion, integrity, and a track record of proven results. His relentless advocacy has resulted in landmark victories — including a recent $25 million civil rights verdict — securing both justice and meaningful compensation for grieving families.

Wrongful death cases often involve complex facts and powerful defendants. Whether the death resulted from a police shooting, medical negligence, workplace hazard, or institutional misconduct, our firm brings the experience, strategy, and dedication needed to take on even the most powerful adversaries.

Comprehensive Legal Strategies for Wrongful Death Claims

Each wrongful death case is unique and demands a detailed, fact-specific legal approach. At The Christian Contreras Firm, we begin every case with an in-depth investigation designed to uncover what happened — and why.

Our process includes:

• Thorough Evidence Collection – Police reports, medical records, body cam footage, eyewitness testimony, surveillance video, and more.
• Expert Collaboration – We work with forensic experts, medical professionals, and legal specialists to establish clear, undeniable liability.
• Economic and Emotional Impact Analysis – Determining the full extent of the loss, including financial support, companionship, and emotional distress.
• Aggressive Representation – From negotiation to litigation, we pursue every available avenue to secure justice and compensation.

Our goal is not only to win your case but to ensure that your loved one’s death leads to institutional change and prevents similar tragedies in the future.

Standing for Systemic Reform

Wrongful death cases often reveal deeper systemic problems — excessive use of force by police, dangerous public policies, or failures in medical and corporate accountability. Christian Contreras is not only a trial lawyer but a prominent advocate for legal and social reform. His legal work is complemented by his role as an educator at the Peoples College of Law and his involvement with civil rights organizations fighting for justice in underserved communities.

Our firm sees each case as an opportunity to change the system. We don’t just litigate — we help shape the future of public safety and civil rights through legal precedent and reform.

A Dedicated Legal Team with Proven Success

The strength of our firm lies in the depth of our team. Associate attorney Alex Coolman, with years of experience in civil rights and criminal defense, brings valuable insight into institutional negligence and wrongful death litigation. Together, our attorneys use their collective knowledge to build cases that are both emotionally compelling and legally unassailable.

We understand the stakes in these cases — not just financial, but emotional, societal, and deeply personal. That’s why our clients describe our team as both fierce advocates and compassionate allies in times of unimaginable pain.
