One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesLosing someone in a preventable crash changes everything, and Wasco families shouldn't have to sort through legal deadlines while grieving. Kern County recorded traffic deaths on local roads in the most recent final year, a reminder that even a smaller city sees serious collisions along corridors like Rt 46, Rt 43, F Street, and Palm Avenue, where crashes tend to cluster on Sunday afternoons. California law gives surviving spouses, domestic partners, and children the first right to bring a wrongful death claim, with certain dependents and heirs eligible if none of those exist. There's a two-year window from the date of death to file, shorter if a government entity was involved, so timing matters. LawProactive is a free service that connects grieving families with an independent personal injury attorney who can explain what compensation might be available, including funeral costs, lost financial support, and loss of companionship, without any obligation.
California limits standing in wrongful death cases to spouses, domestic partners, and children first, with certain dependents or heirs eligible only if none exist. An attorney can help clarify where your family fits.
You generally have two years from the date of death to file a wrongful death claim, and that window shrinks if a government entity was involved. Waiting too long can close the door on recovery entirely.
