One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesEl Cerrito's mix of commuter traffic on I-80 and local movement along San Pablo Avenue, Route 123, and Potrero Avenue creates plenty of opportunity for collisions, and the most recent full year on record shows 52 injury crashes and 63 people hurt within the city. Wednesday afternoons between 4 and 6 p.m. see a noticeable rise in reported crashes, which lines up with the after-work rush through this part of Contra Costa County. If you were hurt in one of these collisions, what happens in the days right after matters. Photos, witness contacts, and vehicle damage can disappear or get forgotten quickly, and insurance adjusters often reach out fast hoping to get a recorded statement before you've spoken with anyone else. LawProactive doesn't practice law — we simply connect you, free of charge, with an independent attorney in the area who can review your situation and explain your options.
You generally have two years to file a car accident claim in California, but if a government vehicle or road defect on a route like Potrero Avenue was involved, that window can shrink to as little as six months. An attorney can help you figure out which deadline applies before it's too late.
California follows pure comparative fault, meaning you can still recover damages even if you're partly responsible for a crash near I-80 or on San Pablo Avenue. Your compensation is simply adjusted to reflect your share of fault, not eliminated.
