Claim it before someone else doesLosing a family member in a crash on El Camino Real, US-101, San Carlos Avenue, or Holly Street changes everything, and it's common for surviving spouses, domestic partners, and children to feel unsure of what comes next. California law allows certain close family members, and in some cases other dependents, to bring a wrongful death claim, but the window to act is limited to two years from the date of death, and even shorter if a government entity is involved. San Carlos sees dozens of injury collisions each year, most heavily on Friday evenings, and while San Carlos Avenue's 2025 numbers show no traffic deaths, families elsewhere in San Mateo County still face this loss regularly. We don't charge upfront fees; we work on contingency and can review what happened, explain available options, and help pursue accountability while your family focuses on grieving and healing.
California limits who may file a wrongful death claim, generally spouses, domestic partners, and children first, then other dependents or heirs. We can clarify where your family fits before any deadline passes.
You generally have two years from the date of death to file, and that window shrinks significantly if a government agency or public roadway maintenance is involved. Acting sooner preserves evidence and options.
