One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesMill Valley is a small place, roughly 14,000 people tucked between the redwoods and Richardson Bay, and a death here is felt on every block. Public records for the most recent final crash year show 43 injury collisions and 60 people hurt in town, with no traffic deaths recorded that year. That is worth being grateful for. Still, wrongful death claims arise from far more than traffic: a fall at a rental property, a missed diagnosis, neglect in a care facility, a defective product, or a collision on US-101, Miller Avenue, Camino Alto or E Blithedale Avenue, the corridors that account for most of the town's reported crashes. Under California law, a spouse or domestic partner and children stand first in line to bring a claim, followed by certain dependents and heirs. The deadline is generally two years from the date of death, and shorter when a public agency is involved. We handle these cases on contingency, so there is no fee unless something is recovered.
California limits who may file: a spouse or domestic partner and children come first, then certain dependents and heirs. We can confirm who in your family is eligible before anything is filed.
The general limit is two years from the date of death, but claims against a city, county or state agency carry a much shorter notice window. Getting started early keeps those options open.
