Claim it before someone else doesWhen someone dies because another person was careless, the people left behind in Union City are asked to do two hard things at once: grieve, and make decisions. A wrongful death claim is one of those decisions, and it does not have to be made alone. In 2025, public records show 5 traffic deaths in Union City, alongside 179 injury collisions on streets like Alvarado Niles Road, Mission Boulevard, Whipple Road and the I-880 corridor. Each of those numbers was a person with a household, a routine, and people who counted on them. California allows a surviving spouse or domestic partner and children to bring a civil claim first, with certain dependents and heirs eligible after that. The claim can seek funeral and burial costs, the financial support the person would have provided, and the loss of their love, companionship and guidance. LawProactive is not a law firm. We connect Union City families, free of charge, with an independent attorney who handles these cases on contingency, so you can ask questions before committing to anything.
California limits standing: a surviving spouse or domestic partner and children come first, and certain dependents or heirs may qualify after them. An attorney can confirm where your family fits before anything is filed.
Most wrongful death claims in California must be filed within two years of the date of death, and the window is shorter when a government entity is involved. Getting an early review protects that deadline.
