One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesHayward sits where I-880 traffic, Mission Boulevard commuters, and neighborhood streets all meet, and public collision records reflect that mix. In 2025, the most recent final reporting year, the city logged 474 injury collisions, with 658 people hurt and 6 lives lost. Reports cluster on Tuesdays between 5 p.m. and 7 p.m., and the highest counts trace to I-880 in both directions and Mission Boulevard. If one of those numbers is you or someone you love, the paperwork that follows can feel heavier than the crash itself. That is where LawProactive fits. We are not a law firm. We are a free service that matches you with an independent personal injury attorney serving Hayward and Alameda County who takes car accident cases on contingency, meaning no fee unless there is a recovery. Under California's pure comparative fault rule, you can still pursue compensation even if you shared part of the blame. And with a two-year filing window that shrinks to as little as six months when a public agency is involved, reaching out sooner protects your options.
California allows two years to file most car accident claims, but that drops to as little as six months when a city, county, or state vehicle or roadway is involved. The attorney you're matched with will identify which clock applies to your crash.
Because California follows pure comparative fault, your recovery is reduced by your percentage of blame rather than erased. Even a driver found mostly at fault can still pursue a claim.

Dashcam clips, freeway camera footage, and witness memories fade fast. An attorney can move quickly to preserve them and advise you not to give the other driver's insurer a recorded statement that could be used against you.
