One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesWhen a fatal collision happens on a corridor like El Camino Real, Willow Road, or Marsh Road, the people left behind are often navigating grief and paperwork at the same time. San Mateo County crash data shows Menlo Park saw over 200 injury collisions in the most recent reporting year, with traffic tending to bunch up on Wednesday mornings between 8 and 10 a.m. Even in a city where fatal outcomes are thankfully rare in the record, a single loss changes a family's future. California's wrongful death statute allows a spouse, domestic partner, or children to bring a claim, and other dependents may qualify in certain situations. Our team reviews the circumstances, explains the filing deadline, and helps pursue funeral costs, lost financial support, and the value of a loved one's guidance and companionship. There's no cost to reach out, and no obligation to move forward.
California limits who can file a wrongful death claim, starting with a spouse, domestic partner, or children, then extending to other dependents in certain cases. Our team can help sort out who qualifies before deadlines pass.
Families generally have two years from the date of death to file, and that window shrinks significantly if a government entity, like a city road authority, may be involved. Getting in touch with us early preserves your options.
