One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesFourteen people died on Fremont roads in 2025, according to the most recent final crash records for the city. Behind each of those numbers is a household in Alameda County trying to make sense of a Friday evening commute on I-880 or a turn off Fremont Boulevard that never ended the way it should have. A wrongful death claim will not undo any of that. What it can do is hold the responsible party financially accountable and help the people left behind stay steady. Under California law, the right to bring the claim belongs first to a surviving spouse or domestic partner and the children; certain dependents and heirs may qualify after them. The deadline is generally two years from the date of death, and it shrinks considerably when a public agency is involved. LawProactive is not a law firm. We are a free service that connects Fremont families with an independent attorney who handles these cases on contingency, so there is no fee unless something is recovered.
California limits wrongful death standing to a spouse or domestic partner and children first, then certain dependents and heirs. The attorney we connect you with can sort out which family members belong on the claim before anything is filed.
Most claims must be filed within two years of the date of death, but the window is far shorter if a government entity is involved. Starting now protects that timeline.
