Claim it before someone else doesDaly City recorded one traffic death in 2025, alongside 257 injury collisions that hurt 336 people. On a San Mateo County report it is a single figure; for one family somewhere near Mission Street or John Daly Boulevard, it reshaped everything. Wrongful death claims here are not limited to traffic, either. A fall at a job site, a medical error, a defective product, or an act of violence can each leave a household without someone it counted on. California gives the first right to sue to a surviving spouse or domestic partner and children, with certain dependents and heirs able to step in if there are none. The clock generally runs two years from the date of death, and it is far shorter when a public agency such as the city, the county, or Caltrans (which oversees I-280 and Junipero Serra Boulevard) may share responsibility. LawProactive is not a law firm. We connect Daly City families, free of charge, with an independent attorney who handles these claims on contingency, so you can ask questions before deciding anything.
California limits standing to a spouse or domestic partner and children first, then certain dependents and heirs. An attorney can sort out who in your family is eligible before anything is filed.
Most wrongful death claims must be filed within two years of the date of death, and the window is much shorter when a city, county, or state agency is involved. Getting connected promptly protects those dates.
