Ceres sees its share of everyday traffic, and with that comes collisions. In the most recent year on record, the city logged 201 injury collisions, 281 people hurt, and 2 traffic deaths. Corridors like Mitchell Road, Hatch Road, E Whitmore Avenue, and Whitmore Avenue carry heavy volume, and public crash records show activity tends to cluster on Friday afternoons between 3 and 5 p.m., likely tied to commuter and weekend traffic patterns.

California generally gives you two years from the date of injury to file a claim, but that window shrinks to as little as six months if a government entity is involved. Waiting too long can cost you the chance to recover anything at all.
California follows pure comparative fault, meaning you can still recover damages even if you were partly responsible for what happened. Your compensation is simply reduced by your share of fault, not eliminated.
In ordinary injury cases, California places no cap on non-economic damages like pain and suffering. That means your claim isn't artificially limited before it's even evaluated.
