One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesWhen someone dies because another person or business was careless, California gives certain family members a way to hold that party accountable in civil court. Calistoga is home to about 5,330 people at the north end of Napa County, and a loss here is felt widely. Public records show 13 injury collisions and 16 people hurt in 2025 and no traffic deaths that year, with most activity along Rt 29, Foothill Boulevard, Rt 128 and Lincoln Avenue. Wrongful death claims, though, reach beyond the roadway. A fall at a spa or lodging property, an error in medical care, a defective product, or an incident at a job site can all give rise to a claim. LawProactive is not a law firm. We are a free service that connects grieving families with an independent attorney who handles these cases on contingency, so you owe nothing unless there is a recovery. State law allows two years from the date of death, less when a public agency is involved, so it helps to reach out early.
California limits standing to a surviving spouse or domestic partner and children first, then certain dependents and heirs. An attorney can confirm which family members qualify before anything is filed.
Families generally have two years from the date of death to file. If a city, county, or state agency may share responsibility, the window to act is considerably shorter.

*No attorney's fee unless there is a recovery. The client may be responsible for court costs and case expenses.
Recoverable damages can include funeral and burial costs, the financial support your loved one would have provided, and the loss of their love, companionship, and guidance. This is a civil matter that proceeds separately from any criminal case.
