One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesBrisbane is small — a San Mateo County city of about 4,700 people — and when a fatal collision happens here, it is felt across the whole town. Public records for 2025 list one traffic death within city limits, alongside 27 injury collisions that left 35 people hurt. The corridors that appear most often in those records are US-101, Bayshore Boulevard, the US-101 northbound lanes and Guadalupe Canyon Parkway, with reports clustering on Thursday afternoons between 4 and 6 p.m. Behind that single fatality is a family in San Mateo County now facing a funeral, lost income and an empty chair. California law gives a surviving spouse or domestic partner and children the first right to bring a wrongful death claim, generally within two years of the death, and sooner if a public agency may be at fault. LawProactive exists to take one task off your plate: we connect you, at no cost, with an independent attorney who handles these cases on contingency, so you can focus on your family.
California limits wrongful death standing to a surviving spouse or domestic partner and children first, then certain dependents and heirs. The attorney we connect you with can tell you plainly where your family stands.
Most claims must be filed within two years of the date of death, and the window is shorter when a city, county or state agency is involved. Early guidance helps protect that deadline.
