Claim it before someone else doesSan Rafael saw 5 traffic deaths alongside 286 injury collisions in the most recent recorded year, numbers that represent real families now navigating grief and unanswered questions. Corridors like US-101, 2nd Street, 3rd Street, and Lincoln Avenue see steady traffic, and crashes tend to cluster around Friday early evenings when commuters and weekend travelers overlap. If you've lost a spouse, partner, parent, or child in a collision here, California law gives certain surviving family members a path to pursue accountability through a wrongful death claim. This is separate from any criminal case that might follow a fatal crash, and it exists to address the financial and personal losses a family carries forward. We handle these cases on contingency, meaning there's no fee unless we recover something for your family. You focus on your family; we help you understand the next step.
California limits wrongful death standing to specific people, starting with a spouse, domestic partner, or children, then extending to other dependents or heirs if none exist. We can help identify who in your family qualifies to bring the claim.
California generally allows two years from the date of death to file a wrongful death claim, though claims against a government entity (such as a public roadway defect) require much faster notice. Waiting too long can close off options entirely.

*No attorney's fee unless there is a recovery. The client may be responsible for court costs and case expenses.
California law recognizes not just funeral costs and lost financial support, but the loss of love, companionship, and guidance a family member provided. These non-economic losses are a real part of what a claim can address.
