One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesFairfax is a small town, roughly 7,626 people tucked into the hills of Marin County, and that closeness means a sudden death is felt well beyond one household. Public records for 2025 show 17 injury collisions in town, 19 people hurt, and one life lost on the road. One is a small number until it is your family. Most reported crashes cluster along Sir Francis Drake Boulevard, Bolinas Road, Broadway, and Center Boulevard, with a noticeable bump on Friday afternoons between 3 and 5 p.m. A wrongful death claim in California is a civil action, separate from anything the district attorney may or may not pursue. It belongs first to the spouse or domestic partner and children, then to certain dependents and heirs. The filing window is generally two years from the date of death, and shorter when a public agency is involved. LawProactive is not a law firm. We connect Fairfax families with an independent attorney who handles these cases on contingency, so you can grieve while someone else carries the paperwork.
California limits standing to the spouse or domestic partner and children first, then certain dependents and heirs. An attorney can sort out where your family stands before anything is filed.
The general limit is two years from the date of death, but claims involving a government entity move on a much shorter clock. Getting connected quickly protects your ability to act.
