One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesAlameda is an island city, and word travels quickly when someone is lost here. In 2025, the city recorded 129 injury collisions, 166 people hurt, and one traffic death — a small figure on paper, and an enormous one for the family living it. Fatal crashes are only part of the picture, though. A wrongful death claim in Alameda County can follow a collision on Lincoln Avenue or Park Street, a fall on someone else's property, a medical error, or an unsafe product. What ties these together is a death that might have been avoided had someone used reasonable care. California treats wrongful death as a civil matter, entirely separate from any criminal charges the district attorney may or may not bring. The right to file belongs to the surviving spouse or domestic partner and children first, then to certain dependents and heirs. Our team handles these cases on a contingency basis, meaning you pay no fee unless there is a recovery.
California limits standing to a spouse or domestic partner and children first, then certain dependents and heirs. We can sort out your family's situation before anything is filed.
Most claims must be brought within two years of the date of death, and the window is considerably shorter when a government entity is involved. We move promptly to protect those dates.
