One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesLafayette sits along the SR-24 corridor, a route that carries heavy commuter traffic between the Caldecott Tunnel and points east through Contra Costa County. Public records show 106 injury collisions in the most recent final crash year, with 142 people hurt and one traffic death — and reported crashes tend to cluster on Friday afternoons between 4 and 6 p.m., a familiar pattern for anyone who's sat in that backup near the freeway on-ramps. If you were injured in one of these collisions, the aftermath can feel overwhelming: medical appointments, insurance calls, missed work. LawProactive is a free service that connects injured Lafayette residents with an independent personal injury attorney who can evaluate your situation. We don't practice law ourselves, and we never guarantee an outcome — but we can help you find someone who understands how California claims work and who takes cases on contingency, meaning you owe nothing unless you recover.
You generally have two years from the crash date to file a car accident lawsuit in California, but claims against a government entity — like a road defect on SR-24 — can require notice in as little as six months. An attorney can help you figure out which deadline applies before it passes.
California uses pure comparative fault, which means your compensation can be reduced by whatever percentage of fault is assigned to you. What you say to an adjuster, including in a recorded statement, can be used to shift blame your way — so it's worth having guidance before that call.

*No attorney's fee unless there is a recovery. The client may be responsible for court costs and case expenses.
California places no cap on non-economic damages like pain and suffering, but insurers still push back hard on these claims. An attorney working on contingency has an incentive to build your case fully, since they're only paid if you recover.
