The surviving spouse or domestic partner, the decedent&rsquo;s children, and (if there are no children) grandchildren may bring a claim. Parents who were financially dependent, stepchildren, putative spouses, and others who were dependent on the decedent for support may also be entitled to file. We help families confirm standing before any filing is made.<\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n    <div class=\"slf-faq-item\">\n      <div class=\"slf-faq-question\">What is the deadline to file?<svg viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\"><path d=\"M7.41 8.59L12 13.17l4.59-4.58L18 10l-6 6-6-6 1.41-1.41z\"\/><\/svg><\/div>\n      <div class=\"slf-faq-answer\">Generally <strong>two years from the date of death<\/strong> (Cal. Code Civ. Proc. &sect; 335.1). If a government entity such as Caltrans, the City of Antioch, or Contra Costa County may bear responsibility, a written government tort claim must be filed within <strong>six months<\/strong> (Cal. Gov. Code &sect; 911.2). Missing these deadlines typically forecloses the claim entirely.<\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n    <div class=\"slf-faq-item\">\n      <div class=\"slf-faq-question\">Do I need probate to bring a wrongful death claim?<svg viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\"><path d=\"M7.41 8.59L12 13.17l4.59-4.58L18 10l-6 6-6-6 1.41-1.41z\"\/><\/svg><\/div>\n      <div class=\"slf-faq-answer\">A wrongful death claim under &sect; 377.60 is brought by the statutory heirs and does not itself require probate. A separate <em>survival action<\/em> &mdash; which recovers losses the decedent suffered before death &mdash; is brought by the personal representative of the estate, which generally does require a probate appointment. We coordinate both with the family and, where needed, with a probate attorney.<\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n    <div class=\"slf-faq-item\">\n      <div class=\"slf-faq-question\">How are damages divided among heirs?<svg viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\"><path d=\"M7.41 8.59L12 13.17l4.59-4.58L18 10l-6 6-6-6 1.41-1.41z\"\/><\/svg><\/div>\n      <div class=\"slf-faq-answer\">California treats wrongful death recoveries as a single lump sum allocated among the heirs based on each person&rsquo;s individual losses &mdash; financial dependency, the closeness of the relationship, and the nature of the support the decedent provided. Allocation is often resolved by agreement among the family. When it cannot be, the court decides.<\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n    <div class=\"slf-faq-item\">\n      <div class=\"slf-faq-question\">What if more than one party was at fault?<svg viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\"><path d=\"M7.41 8.59L12 13.17l4.59-4.58L18 10l-6 6-6-6 1.41-1.41z\"\/><\/svg><\/div>\n      <div class=\"slf-faq-answer\">Multiple parties can be held jointly responsible. We investigate every potentially liable party &mdash; drivers, employers, vehicle owners, product manufacturers, property owners, and government entities &mdash; so the family&rsquo;s recovery is not limited by a single insurance policy.<\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n    <div class=\"slf-faq-item\">\n      <div class=\"slf-faq-question\">Can I file if I was not legally married to my loved one?<svg viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\"><path d=\"M7.41 8.59L12 13.17l4.59-4.58L18 10l-6 6-6-6 1.41-1.41z\"\/><\/svg><\/div>\n      <div class=\"slf-faq-answer\">Possibly. California recognizes registered domestic partners and, in some circumstances, putative spouses (those who in good faith believed they were married). Children, parents who were financially dependent, and others who lived in the household and depended on the decedent for support may also have standing. We can walk you through the statute privately.<\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n    <div class=\"slf-faq-item\">\n      <div class=\"slf-faq-question\">What if my loved one was partly at fault?<svg viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\"><path d=\"M7.41 8.59L12 13.17l4.59-4.58L18 10l-6 6-6-6 1.41-1.41z\"\/><\/svg><\/div>\n      <div class=\"slf-faq-answer\">California uses pure comparative negligence. A wrongful death recovery can still be pursued even if the decedent shared some responsibility &mdash; the award is reduced by the decedent&rsquo;s percentage of fault rather than barred.
