What the Law Says

California’s basic speed law, Vehicle Code section 22350, says no one may drive at a speed greater than is reasonable or prudent given the weather, visibility, traffic and road conditions. This applies on freeways at night, including around interchanges. If a driver allegedly breaks this rule and causes a collision, that conduct can be evidence of negligence.

When a person dies because of someone else’s wrongful act or neglect, California Code of Civil Procedure section 377.60 identifies who may bring a wrongful death claim, such as certain surviving family members. Deadlines apply to these claims, so families often benefit from learning their options early. We work on a contingency basis: no fees or costs unless we win.

This summary is general information, not legal advice. Every case depends on its specific facts.
