As soon as possible. It is very important if you feel that you have a case for wrongful death, regardless whether it is in San Francisco or another location, that you speak with an attorney as quickly as you can.
Often people put off speaking with an attorney due to the loss they are experiencing after the death of a loved one. This is understandable, however, unfortunate.
Your attorney will need to begin collecting evidence, speaking to potential witnesses, and doing all the work necessary to properly evaluate and prosecute your claim. The longer this is put off the harder the attorney’s job will be and the more difficult your case will become.
