Claim it before someone else doesShasta Lake is small enough that a death touches nearly everyone. With about 10,159 residents spread along Shasta Dam Boulevard, Cascade Boulevard and Wonderland Boulevard, the community tends to know when a family is grieving. Public records for 2025 list three injury collisions in the city and no traffic deaths, which is worth stating plainly: fatal crashes here are rare. Yet wrongful death claims in Shasta County arise from more than roadways. A fall at a rental property, a defective product, a workplace incident, or a collision on Rt 151 heading out of town can each leave a family facing funeral costs and a household income that has suddenly stopped. California law lets a surviving spouse or domestic partner and children bring a civil claim first, followed by certain dependents and heirs. The deadline is two years from the date of death, and shorter when a public agency is involved. We handle wrongful death claims directly, working on contingency so you pay no fee unless we recover.
California limits who may bring a wrongful death claim, starting with a spouse or domestic partner and children, then certain dependents and heirs. We can tell you early whether you have standing rather than leaving you to guess.
The general limit is two years from the date of death, but claims involving a city, county or state agency carry much shorter notice requirements. Moving promptly protects that window.
