Claim it before someone else doesWhen a fatal collision happens on a corridor like Moraga Way or Street Marys Road, the family left behind is often left with more questions than answers. Contra Costa County's public crash records for Moraga show injury collisions occur here, and while recent counts have shown zero traffic deaths, any fatal incident carries the same weight for the people left grieving. California wrongful death law limits who can bring a claim, sets a two-year deadline from the date of death, and allows recovery for funeral costs, lost financial support, and the loss of a loved one's companionship and guidance. This is a civil matter, entirely separate from any criminal proceedings that might follow. LawProactive doesn't practice law ourselves; we simply connect Moraga families with an independent attorney who can walk through eligibility, deadlines, and next steps at no upfront cost, so you can focus on your family first.
California law limits who may file a wrongful death claim, generally starting with a spouse, domestic partner, or children before other dependents or heirs. An attorney in our network can help sort out who qualifies before any filing decisions are made.
Wrongful death claims in California must generally be filed within two years of the date of death, and that window shrinks significantly if a government entity, such as a public roadway agency, may be involved. Missing this deadline can end a claim entirely, so timing matters from day one.
