Claim it before someone else doesGrief does not follow a schedule, but California's legal deadlines do. That tension is why so many Upland families reach out to us weeks or months after a loss, unsure whether they still have options. In most cases they do. A wrongful death claim in San Bernardino County is a civil action, entirely separate from any criminal proceeding, and it belongs first to the surviving spouse or domestic partner and children, then to certain dependents and heirs. Upland recorded 2 traffic deaths in 2025 alongside 430 injury collisions, many along SR-210, Euclid Avenue, Mountain Avenue and Foothill Boulevard. Fatal losses also come from other places: a workplace, a hospital, a store's wet floor, a defective product. Whatever the cause, the law allows recovery of funeral and burial expenses, the financial support your loved one would have provided, and the harder-to-measure loss of love, companionship and guidance. We handle wrongful death cases on a contingency basis, so you can focus on your family.
California limits standing to a spouse or domestic partner and children first, then certain dependents and heirs. We will explain where your family fits before anything is filed.
Most wrongful death claims must be brought within two years of the date of death, and the window is shorter when a city, county or state agency is involved. Early contact helps protect that timeline.
