One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesPublic collision records show nine traffic deaths in Ventura in 2025. Each of those numbers was a parent, a partner, a son or daughter — someone whose absence is now felt at a kitchen table somewhere off Telegraph Road or Victoria Avenue. If you are reading this because you lost someone that way, or because a fall, a defective product, or a medical error took them, you are not looking for statistics. California gives certain family members the right to bring a wrongful death claim. Spouses, domestic partners, and children stand first in line; other dependents and heirs may qualify when there is no surviving spouse or child. The claim is civil, separate from anything a prosecutor in Ventura County decides to do, and it generally must be filed within two years of the date of death — sooner if a city, county, or state agency is involved. LawProactive is a free service that connects you with an independent attorney who handles these cases on contingency, meaning no fee unless there is a recovery.
California limits standing to a spouse or domestic partner and children first, then certain dependents and heirs. The attorney we connect you with can walk through where your family fits before anyone spends time on paperwork.
Most wrongful death claims must be filed within two years of the date of death, and the window is considerably shorter when a public agency is involved. Getting an independent attorney involved sooner keeps those dates from slipping.
