Claim it before someone else doesWhen a traffic collision in Morgan Hill takes a family member, the aftermath is disorienting on top of devastating. Santa Clara County's recent traffic count included three deaths, and behind each number is a household now facing funeral arrangements, missing income, and unanswered questions. Corridors like Monterey Road, Dunne Avenue, Butterfield Boulevard, and the US-101 stretch through town see steady collision activity, particularly around Friday evening traffic. California wrongful death law gives certain surviving family members, starting with a spouse, domestic partner, or children, the right to pursue a civil claim separate from any police investigation or criminal case. We handle wrongful death claims on contingency, meaning there's no fee unless money is recovered. If you're trying to understand whether you or your family qualifies to bring a claim, and what the two-year filing window means for your situation, we can help you get answers from someone who knows this area of law well.
California limits who can file a wrongful death claim, generally a spouse, domestic partner, or children first, with other dependents or heirs eligible in certain cases. We can help sort out who in your family qualifies before time runs short.
Most wrongful death claims must be filed within two years of the date of death, and that window shortens considerably if a government entity, like a public roadway agency, may be responsible. Getting started early protects your ability to file.
