One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesLathrop's location along I-5, near SR-120, Harlan Road, and E Louise Avenue means steady traffic through town — and San Joaquin County's public crash records show that in the most recent reporting year, two of those collisions ended in a life lost. Behind each number is a family trying to make sense of a sudden absence: a spouse planning a funeral instead of dinner, children asking questions no parent should have to answer alone. California law gives certain surviving family members a path to hold a negligent driver or party accountable through a civil wrongful death claim, separate from anything that happens in criminal court. That claim can address funeral and burial costs, the financial support your family has lost, and the loss of companionship and guidance that no amount of money truly replaces — but pursuing it means facing deadlines and legal standing rules while you're still grieving. Our team handles wrongful death claims for Lathrop families on a contingency-fee basis, so you can focus on what matters most.
California limits who may bring a wrongful death claim — typically a spouse, domestic partner, or children first, with other dependents or heirs eligible only in certain situations. We can help sort out who qualifies before that window narrows further.
You generally have two years from the date of death to file, though claims against a government entity carry a much shorter deadline. Given how many Lathrop collisions happen near county and state roads like SR-120 and I-5, confirming which deadline applies matters early.
