One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesWhen a fatal collision happens along US-101, Grand Avenue, or one of South San Francisco's other busy corridors, the family left behind faces grief alongside a maze of paperwork and legal deadlines. San Mateo County recorded 2 traffic deaths in the most recent full year of data, a reminder that behind every number is a household forever changed. California law gives a limited group of people, typically a spouse, domestic partner, or children, the right to bring a wrongful death claim, and dependents or other heirs may qualify in certain situations. There is a two-year window from the date of death to act, and that window shrinks significantly when a government entity is involved. LawProactive doesn't practice law or promise results. We simply help South San Francisco families connect with an independent attorney who can walk through what happened, what the law allows, and what steps might make sense next.
California limits standing to a spouse, domestic partner, or children first, with other dependents or heirs eligible in specific circumstances. An attorney can clarify who in your family qualifies.
You generally have two years from the date of death to file, but that period is much shorter if a government agency's road or vehicle was involved. Missing it can end a claim before it starts.

*No attorney's fee unless there is a recovery. The client may be responsible for court costs and case expenses.
California law allows recovery for funeral costs and lost financial support, but also for the loss of love, companionship, and guidance a family member provided. These non-economic losses are part of the civil case, separate from any criminal proceeding.
