One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesWhen a crash on Central Avenue, Monte Vista Avenue, or along the San Bernardino Freeway takes a loved one's life, the grief is immediate but the legal questions often surface later. San Bernardino County records show Montclair saw 234 injury collisions and 348 people hurt in the most recent final crash year, with one traffic death — a reminder that even a small city carries real risk on its busiest roads, especially during Friday evening hours when traffic peaks. California law gives surviving spouses, domestic partners, and children the first right to bring a wrongful death claim, with other dependents eligible in certain situations. LawProactive is a free connection service, not a law firm, and we don't charge families anything to find an independent attorney who can explain your options. Attorneys in our network work on contingency, meaning there's no fee unless there's a recovery. You deserve time to grieve, not a rushed legal decision, and having someone in your corner from the start can make the road ahead a little clearer.
California generally allows two years from the date of death to file a wrongful death claim, though claims involving a government entity carry a much shorter deadline. Acting sooner preserves evidence and options.
California law limits who has standing to bring a wrongful death claim, starting with a spouse, domestic partner, or children, with other dependents potentially eligible depending on the family's circumstances. An attorney can clarify who qualifies in your specific situation.

*No attorney's fee unless there is a recovery. The client may be responsible for court costs and case expenses.
California allows families to seek funeral and burial costs and lost financial support, as well as compensation for the loss of a loved one's love, companionship, and guidance. These claims are civil matters, entirely separate from any criminal case that may also be underway.
