One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesBelvedere is a small place. With about 2,121 residents and a handful of connecting streets such as Peninsula Road, Bayview Avenue, Graham Avenue and Beach Road, a sudden loss here is felt by neighbors, not just family. Public records for 2023 show no injury collisions and no traffic deaths within city limits, which means many wrongful death cases touching Belvedere families begin elsewhere: a collision on a Marin County highway, a fall at a property outside town, a medical error, or a defective product that failed at home. Wherever the loss happened, California law gives certain surviving relatives a civil path forward. That path is separate from any criminal charges, and it exists whether or not a prosecutor ever gets involved. The deadline is generally two years from the date of death, and it can be much shorter if a public agency is involved. Our team can listen to your situation and explain what a claim might involve, at no cost to you.
California limits standing to a spouse or domestic partner and children first, then certain dependents and heirs. We can quickly tell you whether you qualify and who else in the family may need to be included.
Most wrongful death actions must be filed within two years of the date of death, but claims involving a city, county, or state agency carry a far shorter window. Getting started early protects the timeline.
