Claim it before someone else doesTen people died on Concord's streets in 2025, according to the most recent final crash records. Behind each of those counts is a family in Contra Costa County trying to figure out what comes next. Some of those losses happened along Clayton Road or Willow Pass Road; others on SR-242 or SR-4, the corridors that carry much of the city's daily traffic, with reported crashes tending to cluster on Tuesday evenings between 5 and 7 p.m. Wrongful death claims are not only about collisions, though. A fall at a workplace, a defective product, or negligent care can all lead to the same kind of civil case. In California, the right to bring that case belongs first to a surviving spouse or domestic partner and children, and then to certain dependents or heirs. The claim is separate from any criminal charges, and it moves on its own timeline, generally two years from the date of death, with a shorter window when a public agency is involved. We handle wrongful death matters and work on contingency. Reach out to discuss your family's options at no cost.
California limits who may bring a wrongful death action, starting with a spouse or domestic partner and children, then certain dependents and heirs. We can explain where your family stands before anything is filed.
Most wrongful death claims in California must be filed within two years of the date of death, and the window is shorter when a city, county, or state agency may be responsible. Getting started sooner protects those options.
