One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesWhen someone dies because another person was careless, the paperwork arrives before the grief has anywhere to go. Fullerton families know this. In 2025, the city recorded 4 traffic deaths alongside 734 injury collisions, and each of those numbers stands for a household that changed overnight. Collision counts run highest along Harbor Boulevard, Euclid Street, Orangethorpe Avenue and the southbound side of SR-57, and they tend to peak on Friday evenings between 5 and 7 p.m. Not every wrongful death claim begins on a road. A fall at a workplace, a defective product, or a preventable medical error can lead to the same civil action. California limits who may bring that claim, starting with a surviving spouse or domestic partner and children, then moving to certain dependents and heirs. The deadline is generally two years from the date of death, and shorter when a public entity is involved. LawProactive is not a law firm. We are a free service that introduces Orange County families to an independent attorney who handles wrongful death cases on contingency, so you can ask questions without adding another bill to the stack.
California gives standing first to a surviving spouse or domestic partner and children, then to certain dependents and heirs. The attorney you're matched with can explain where your family fits before anything is filed.
Most wrongful death claims must be brought within two years of the date of death, but a claim against a city, county or state agency carries a much tighter window. Getting connected early protects that right.
