A: In California, lawsuits involving Child Protective Services (CPS), especially those as serious as a wrongful death case, are typically handled by attorneys with expertise in civil rights and government liability law. These attorneys often have experience in dealing with state agencies and understand the complexities of suing a government entity.

In cases where a child was harmed or died while under CPS care, these lawyers would look into issues of negligence or failure to fulfill the duty of care owed by the state agency. They can help navigate the specific legal challenges and procedural rules that apply when suing a public agency in California.

It's essential to find an attorney who has experience in similar cases and understands the sensitive nature of such a situation. Legal action in these cases is not just about seeking compensation, but also about holding the responsible parties accountable and potentially driving systemic changes.
