While Gaviota isn’t a city, per se, it is an area of Santa Barbara County. It’s unincorporated, and fewer than 100 people live there. It’s known for Gaviota State Park, farming, cattle ranches, and the occasional mountain lion. With more than 2,700 acres, Gaviota State Park extends from the Pacific Ocean to the top of the Santa Ynez Mountains to the east. The park is split in half by U.S. Highway 101. Although there is horseback riding, bicycling, and hiking in the park, it’s the park’s beach and campground that receive the most visitors.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. If you can prove the city of Gaviota or a governmental body was somehow responsible for a wrongful death, it’s legal to file a claim against the city. However, if you are going to level an accusation against the government, it’s best to speak with a qualified legal representative to gauge you chances of success.
Any case where you could prove one party’s negligence caused an untimely death could be considered a wrongful death case. Whether employers didn’t give employees requisite safety instructions or a shop owner failed to mark a slippery area, wrongful death cases always involve some degree of negligence. If you’re confused whether your case qualifies as wrongful death, it’s best to speak with a lawyer who has handled these cases.
