One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesAuburn is a small city, and a sudden loss here is felt well beyond one household. In 2025, the city recorded 52 injury collisions and 70 people hurt, with no traffic deaths reported that year, a reminder that most families in Auburn will never face this. Some still do, whether from a crash on I-80, Grass Valley Highway, Auburn Folsom Road or Route 49, or from a fall, a workplace incident, or a medical error. California law gives certain survivors the right to bring a civil wrongful death claim. A surviving spouse or domestic partner and children have first standing, followed by specific dependents and heirs. The claim is separate from any criminal case, and it does not depend on one. The deadline is generally two years from the date of death, and it can be much shorter when a public agency is involved. LawProactive is not a law firm. We are a free service that connects Auburn families with an independent attorney who handles these cases on contingency.
California limits who can file, starting with a spouse or domestic partner and children, then certain dependents and heirs. The attorney you are connected with can sort out who belongs in the claim before anything is filed.
Two years from the date of death is the usual limit, but a claim against a city, county or state agency must be presented far sooner. Getting connected promptly helps protect that window.
