One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesWhen a fatal collision happens on SR-24 or elsewhere in Orinda, the family left behind faces grief and paperwork at the same time. Contra Costa County recorded 78 injury collisions and one traffic death in the most recent final year, a reminder that even a quiet, small city of about 19,279 residents sees serious crashes, often clustered on Wednesday mornings when commuters head toward the SR-24 corridor. A wrongful death claim in California is separate from any criminal case and exists to help surviving family members recover financial losses and the value of what was lost personally. LawProactive doesn't practice law or promise results; we simply connect grieving families with an independent attorney who can explain standing, deadlines, and what evidence matters. There's no fee unless the attorney recovers something for your family, so you can focus on your family first and the legal questions second.
California law limits who can bring a wrongful death claim, starting with a spouse, domestic partner, or children before other dependents or heirs. An independent attorney can help sort out who qualifies before time and evidence slip away.
Most wrongful death claims must be filed within two years of the date of death, and that window shrinks further if a government entity was involved, such as a county road issue on SR-24. Acting sooner preserves options later.

*No attorney's fee unless there is a recovery. The client may be responsible for court costs and case expenses.
California allows recovery for funeral and burial costs, lost financial support the family depended on, and the loss of love, companionship, and guidance. An attorney can help document each category so nothing is overlooked.
