Claim it before someone else doesColton recorded 14 traffic deaths alongside 452 injury collisions in the most recent final crash year, numbers that represent families across San Bernardino County left to navigate grief and unanswered questions. Many of these losses trace back to Colton's busiest corridors, including I-215, I-10, and Mt Vernon Avenue, where reported crashes cluster on Friday evenings between 5 and 7 p.m. When a crash claims a family member, California law allows certain surviving relatives to pursue a wrongful death claim separate from any criminal proceedings tied to the crash. LawProactive is not a law firm, but we connect grieving families in Colton with independent personal injury attorneys who handle these cases on contingency, meaning there's no fee unless a recovery is made. You don't need to sort through legal deadlines or paperwork alone while carrying this kind of loss.
California limits who may file a wrongful death claim, typically starting with a spouse, domestic partner, or children, then extending to other dependents or heirs. An attorney can help your family understand where you stand before time runs short.
Wrongful death claims generally must be filed within two years of the date of death, though claims against a government entity involve a much shorter deadline. Acting sooner preserves evidence and protects your family's legal options.
