One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesContra Costa County recorded one traffic death in the latest full crash year, but for a Danville family that single loss reshapes everything. Wrongful death claims exist to help surviving spouses, domestic partners, and children pursue accountability when a preventable collision takes a loved one's life. California law also allows certain other dependents or heirs to bring a claim if there is no surviving spouse or child. These cases run separately from any criminal proceedings and focus on the financial and emotional toll left behind. In Danville, fatal and serious crashes often trace back to the same corridors that carry heavy commuter traffic — I-680 in both directions and Camino Tassajara among them. LawProactive doesn't practice law or take a fee; we simply help connect grieving families with an independent attorney who can review the details, explain the filing deadline, and talk through what recovery may look like for funeral costs, lost income, and the loss of companionship. There's no obligation to move forward.
California limits wrongful death standing to a spouse, domestic partner, or children first, with other dependents or heirs eligible only if none of those survive. An attorney can clarify where your family stands before any claim moves forward.
You generally have two years from the date of death to file, though claims against a government entity — such as one involving a county road — carry a much shorter deadline. Missing it can close the door on recovery entirely.

*No attorney's fee unless there is a recovery. The client may be responsible for court costs and case expenses.
California law allows families to seek funeral costs and lost financial support, but also the loss of love, companionship, and guidance a loved one provided. An independent attorney can help account for both the tangible and intangible losses.
