Claim it before someone else doesHillsborough is a quiet town of about 11,451 people in San Mateo County, and in the most recent final crash year, 2025, public records show 5 injury collisions, 7 people hurt, and no traffic deaths within its limits. That is worth stating plainly. Still, families here do lose loved ones to preventable events, whether on I-280 and its northbound lanes, along Skyline Boulevard or Crystal Springs Road, in a hospital or care facility, or on someone else's property. A wrongful death claim is the civil path California gives surviving family members. It stands apart from any criminal case, and it can move forward whether or not charges are ever filed. The law limits who may bring the claim, sets a two-year clock from the date of death, and allows recovery for funeral and burial costs, the financial support the person would have provided, and the loss of their love, companionship and guidance. We handle wrongful death cases on contingency, so there is no fee unless there is a recovery.
California gives a spouse or domestic partner and children the first right to bring a wrongful death claim, with certain dependents and heirs eligible in other circumstances. We can sort out standing early so the right people are protected.
Most claims must be filed within two years of the date of death, and the window is far shorter when a government entity may be responsible. We ensure those dates are tracked carefully so nothing slips.
