One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesEighteen people died on Ontario's roads in 2025, according to public collision records for that year. Each of those numbers was somebody's parent, partner, or child, and the paperwork that follows a death rarely waits for grief to settle. LawProactive exists to take one task off your plate. We are not a law firm; we are a free service that connects Ontario families with an independent attorney who handles wrongful death claims in San Bernardino County. Fatal crashes here tend to occur along the region's heaviest commuter and freight routes: I-10 through the center of the city, Euclid Avenue, SR-60 to the south, and I-15 along the east side. Wrongful death is not only about traffic, though. A fall on a neglected property, a defective product, or a preventable medical error can support a claim as well. Under California law, a spouse, domestic partner, or child typically has the first right to file, and the clock generally runs two years from the date of death. The attorney you're matched with works on contingency, so there is no fee unless your family recovers something.
California limits wrongful death standing, with the spouse or domestic partner and children first in line and certain dependents or heirs after that. The attorney you're connected with can sort out who in your family has the right to bring the claim.
Most California wrongful death claims must be filed within two years of the date of death, but that window shrinks considerably when a government entity is involved. Getting an attorney in place early protects that timeline.

Recoverable losses go beyond funeral and burial costs to include the financial support the person would have provided and the loss of their love, companionship, and guidance. Your attorney will build the claim around what your family actually lost.
