One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesAtherton is a quiet town, but its busiest corridors — Middlefield Road, Route 82, Alameda De Las Pulgas, and El Camino Real — still see their share of collisions, with reports clustering on Wednesday afternoons between 3 and 5 p.m. San Mateo County's most recent full-year data logged three injury collisions and three injured people here, a reminder that even a small town isn't immune to serious wrecks. When a crash upends your routine, sorting out fault, medical bills, and insurance calls can feel overwhelming on top of recovering physically. LawProactive isn't a law firm — we're a free service that connects injured Atherton residents and visitors with an independent personal injury attorney who can review the details, explain your options, and help you avoid common pitfalls with insurers. There's no obligation to move forward, and connecting with an attorney costs you nothing upfront.
You generally have two years from the crash date to file a car accident lawsuit in California, but if a government entity (like a road authority) may be involved, that window can shrink to as little as six months. Getting an attorney's eyes on your case early helps make sure no deadline slips by.
California follows pure comparative fault, meaning you can still recover damages even if you were partly at fault for the accident — your share just gets deducted from any award. An attorney can help make sure the insurance company doesn't unfairly inflate your percentage of blame.

*No attorney's fee unless there is a recovery. The client may be responsible for court costs and case expenses.
Insurance adjusters often ask for a recorded statement soon after a crash, hoping to use your words against you later. An independent attorney can handle those conversations on your behalf so nothing you say gets twisted to minimize your claim.
