Lodi Wrongful Death Lawyer
Why Lodi Wrongful Death Victims Choose DePaoli Law Team
Central Valley wine-country city with Highway 99 and agricultural truck traffic on rural two-lane roads — along Highway 99 and through Highway 99, Kettleman Lane, Lower Sacramento Road — sees serious wrongful death activity, and the local roads and traffic patterns shape how these cases unfold. When a loss happens, insurance companies move fast, dispatching adjusters to record your statement before you understand the full scope of your injuries or what your claim is worth.
Attorney Kelsey DePaoli is a trial attorney with a $3.85M+ record who serves Lodi clients from her Folsom office, ~42 miles away. Her team includes Travis Black, a former insurance adjuster who knows every tactic insurers use — an insider combination that settle-fast firms cannot match. Serious wrongful death injuries are treated at facilities like Adventist Health Lodi Memorial, and we build your case around your full medical picture.
