Claim it before someone else doesCorte Madera is a small town, fewer than ten thousand residents settled between the bay and the base of Mount Tamalpais, and when a family here loses someone, the absence is felt on quiet streets and in familiar places. Public records for 2025 show 48 injury collisions and 61 people hurt on local roads, with US-101, Tamalpais Drive and Paradise Drive carrying the largest share of reported crashes; those same records list no traffic deaths that year. Wrongful death claims in Marin County do not only follow collisions, though. They can arise from unsafe premises, medical mistakes, defective products and workplace incidents as well. Under California law, a spouse, domestic partner or child usually holds the first right to bring the claim, and a two-year clock begins on the date of death. The claim is civil, entirely separate from anything a prosecutor may or may not decide to do. Our team handles wrongful death claims on a contingency basis, so you can grieve while we track the deadlines and paperwork.
California limits wrongful death standing, giving a spouse, domestic partner and children priority before other dependents or heirs. We can tell your family quickly whether and how you qualify.
The general filing window is two years from the date of death, and it shrinks considerably when a public agency is involved. We protect that window from the start.
