One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesTwenty-one people died in traffic collisions in Fontana during 2025, out of 799 injury crashes recorded across the city. Behind each of those numbers is a household in San Bernardino County that suddenly has to plan a funeral, pay bills without a paycheck, and figure out what comes next. A wrongful death claim exists for that gap. It is a civil action, separate from any criminal charges, and it belongs to the family rather than the state. Under California law, a surviving spouse or domestic partner and children hold the first right to bring the claim; certain dependents and heirs may qualify when there is no spouse or child. Recoverable losses reach beyond funeral and burial costs to the financial support the person would have provided and the love, companionship and guidance that cannot be replaced. Collision reports in Fontana cluster along Sierra Avenue, the I-10, Citrus Avenue and Foothill Boulevard. LawProactive is not a law firm. We connect you, for free, with an independent attorney who handles these cases on contingency, so there is no fee unless there is a recovery.
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 anyone files anything.
The general limit is two years from the date of death, but it is shorter when a city, county or state agency may share fault. Getting connected early keeps every option open.
