Eureka's streets carry a steady flow of local and through traffic, from Broadway Street and Highway 101 to the busier stretches of H Street and I Street near downtown. In the most recent year on record, Humboldt County logged 214 injury collisions in and around the city, leaving 288 people hurt and 4 people dead. Numbers like these represent neighbors, commuters, and families whose routines were interrupted in an instant.

Most injury claims in California must be filed within two years of the accident. That window can shrink to as little as six months if a government entity was involved, so timing matters.
California follows pure comparative fault, meaning you can still recover damages even if you were partly responsible for the accident. Your compensation is simply adjusted to reflect your share of fault.
