Claim it before someone else doesButte County recorded traffic deaths in Oroville within the most recent reporting year, a reminder that even a small city's busy corridors carry real risk. Feather River Boulevard, Olive Highway, and both stretches of Oroville Dam Boulevard see steady traffic, and Tuesday afternoons between 3 and 5 p.m. tend to bring more reported collisions than other times. When a crash on any of these roads takes a family member's life, California law allows certain survivors to pursue a wrongful death claim separate from any criminal proceeding against the at-fault driver. Standing is limited by law, generally starting with a spouse, domestic partner, or children, and extending to other dependents or heirs when no closer survivor exists. We handle wrongful death claims in Oroville and can explain what the law allows and what deadlines apply, at no upfront cost to you.
California generally allows two years from the date of death to file a wrongful death claim, though claims against a government entity involving a public road may require action much sooner. Missing these windows can end a family's right to recover, so timing matters from the start.
State law limits who may bring a wrongful death claim, usually starting with a spouse, domestic partner, or children, and moving to other dependents or heirs if none exist. We can help clarify where your family stands before any claim moves forward.
