One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesSix people died in traffic collisions in Downey during 2025, according to public records, out of 829 injury crashes. Each of those numbers stands for a family in Los Angeles County that is now planning a funeral instead of a future. A wrongful death claim exists for exactly that situation: when someone's carelessness — on Lakewood Boulevard, Firestone Boulevard, Florence Avenue, Paramount Boulevard, or anywhere else — ends a life that should have continued. Under California law, a surviving spouse or domestic partner and the children have the first right to bring the claim; certain dependents and heirs may follow if none exist. The case is civil, separate from anything the district attorney decides to do. Recoverable losses reach beyond burial costs to the income your loved one would have provided and the companionship and guidance that cannot be replaced. The clock matters: two years from the date of death, and considerably less when a public agency is involved. LawProactive is not a law firm. We connect Downey families with an independent attorney, free of charge, who handles these claims on contingency.
California limits standing to a spouse or domestic partner and children first, then certain dependents and heirs. The attorney you're connected with can sort out where your family fits before any paperwork begins.
Most claims must be filed within two years of the date of death, and the window shrinks sharply if a city, county, or state agency shares fault. Getting connected promptly protects that timeline.

*No attorney's fee unless there is a recovery. The client may be responsible for court costs and case expenses.
Funeral and burial expenses, the financial support your loved one would have provided, and the loss of love, companionship, and guidance are all recognized by California law. An independent attorney works on contingency, so there is no fee unless there is a recovery.
