One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesRoss is a small place. With fewer than 2,500 residents and streets like Ross Common and Loma Linda Avenue that most neighbors know by heart, a death here is felt by the whole town. In 2025, public records show two injury collisions in Ross, three people hurt, and no traffic fatalities. Still, sudden loss reaches small towns too. People from Ross drive Sir Francis Drake Boulevard, work and travel across Marin County, and can lose someone to a crash elsewhere, a medical error, an unsafe property, or a defective product. California law lets a surviving spouse, domestic partner, or child bring a civil wrongful death claim, with certain dependents and heirs eligible in other situations. The claim is separate from any criminal case and generally must be filed within two years of the death, sooner if a public agency is involved. LawProactive is a free service, not a law firm. We connect you with an independent attorney who works on contingency, so there is no fee unless there is a recovery.
California limits standing in wrongful death cases, giving priority to a spouse, domestic partner, and children, then certain dependents and heirs. An attorney in our network can tell you where your family fits before anyone files paperwork.
Most California wrongful death actions must be filed within two years of the date of death, and the window is shorter when a city, county, or state agency is involved. Getting connected early keeps those deadlines from slipping by during a hard season.
