Claim it before someone else doesKern County recorded two traffic deaths in Delano during the most recent reporting year, alongside 139 injury collisions across corridors like Garces Highway, High Street, County Line Road and Cecil Avenue. Behind each number is a family trying to make sense of a sudden loss, often while facing funeral costs and a home that feels quieter than it should. California law gives surviving spouses, domestic partners, and children the first right to bring a wrongful death claim, with certain other dependents able to step in when no closer relative exists. These cases run on their own civil timeline, separate from anything happening in a criminal court. LawProactive doesn't practice law ourselves; we simply help Delano families connect with an independent, contingency-fee attorney who can review what happened, explain the options, and walk beside you through a process that shouldn't be carried alone. There's no obligation, and no fee unless a recovery is made.
California law limits who may bring a wrongful death claim, starting with a spouse, domestic partner, or children, then other dependents if none exist. An attorney can help sort out who has standing before any claim moves forward.
Wrongful death claims generally must be filed within two years of the date of death, though claims against a government entity carry a much shorter window. Missing either deadline can end a family's ability to recover anything at all.

*No attorney's fee unless there is a recovery. The client may be responsible for court costs and case expenses.
California allows families to seek funeral and burial costs, lost financial support, and compensation for the loss of love, companionship and guidance — not just tangible expenses. An attorney can help document these losses accurately.
