One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesTehama is a small town, and a sudden loss here is felt by nearly everyone. Public records for 2025 show 4 injury collisions and no traffic deaths in the city itself, but families in this part of Tehama County still lose loved ones on the roads that run through and around it. Collision counts are highest along State Route 36, State Route 32, and South Avenue, and reported crashes cluster on Fridays between midnight and 2 a.m. A wrongful death claim in California is a civil action, entirely separate from any criminal case, and it belongs to specific people: the spouse or domestic partner and children come first, followed by certain dependents and heirs. Recoverable losses can include funeral and burial costs, the financial support the person would have provided, and the loss of their love, companionship, and guidance. Two years from the date of death is the general deadline, and it is shorter when a government entity is involved. LawProactive is not a law firm. We simply connect you with an independent attorney who handles these cases on contingency.
California limits wrongful death standing to a spouse or domestic partner and children first, then certain dependents and heirs. The attorney you're connected with can sort out who has the right to bring the claim in your family.
Families generally have two years from the date of death, but the window shrinks considerably when a public agency, such as a county road department, may share responsibility. Getting connected promptly protects those rights.
