One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesLosing a family member in a traffic collision changes everything, and Los Gatos families are still absorbing the weight of the 2 traffic deaths recorded in the most recent reporting year alongside 146 people injured across town. Corridors like SR-17, SR-85, and Blossom Hill Road see steady traffic, particularly on Friday afternoons between 3 and 5 p.m. when crash reports tend to rise. If a loved one died because of another party's negligence on these roads or elsewhere in town, California law allows certain family members to pursue a civil wrongful death claim, separate from any criminal proceeding. This isn't about reliving the tragedy in a courtroom sense—it's about understanding what financial and emotional losses can be recognized under the law, and whether pursuing that path makes sense for your family. Our team doesn't require upfront payment; we handle wrongful death claims so you can focus on your family while we review the legal side.
California limits wrongful death standing primarily to a surviving spouse, domestic partner, or children, with other dependents or heirs eligible in certain situations. We can help clarify 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 against a government entity—say, involving road design on a county-maintained stretch—carry a much shorter window. Waiting to sort out details can quietly cost a family its legal options.
