Claim it before someone else doesSanta Clara County recorded 40 injury collisions and 1 traffic death in Los Altos during the most recent final crash year, with Thursday mornings between 8 and 10 a.m. showing the heaviest concentration of reported crashes. Behind each number is a family left to sort through grief, funeral arrangements, and unanswered questions about how a loved one's life ended. California law recognizes that a spouse, domestic partner, or children may bring a wrongful death claim, and if none exist, certain other dependents or heirs may qualify. These claims are separate from any criminal case that might follow the same incident and focus instead on compensating the family for what was lost. Our team can explain standing, deadlines, and what losses may be recoverable, all at no upfront fee.
California limits wrongful death standing to a spouse, domestic partner, or children first, then to certain other dependents or heirs if none exist. We can help sort out who in your family qualifies before any claim moves forward.
Most wrongful death claims must be filed within two years of the date of death, though claims involving a government entity carry a much shorter deadline. Given the corridors and intersections in Los Altos where public agencies sometimes share responsibility, getting timely legal guidance matters.
