One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesMerced's traffic runs mostly on a lettered-and-numbered street grid, and that is where its collisions concentrate. County public records for 2025 list 246 injury collisions in the city, 349 people hurt, and 3 traffic deaths. G Street, R Street, M Street, and W 16th Street account for the highest counts, and reports tend to cluster on Friday afternoons between 3 and 5 p.m. If one of those crashes was yours, the days afterward can feel scattered: a car in the shop, appointments to keep, and an adjuster asking for a recorded statement before you have had time to think. LawProactive exists to steady that moment. We are not a law firm. We are a free service that connects Merced residents with an independent personal injury attorney who handles car accident claims on contingency, so nothing is owed unless there is a recovery. California allows two years to file in most cases, less when a public agency is involved, and the photos, receipts, and medical records you keep now will matter later.
California gives most car accident claims two years, but if a city truck or county vehicle was involved, a claim may need to be filed in as little as six months. The attorney you are matched with knows which clock applies to your situation.
Under California's pure comparative fault rule, you can still recover even if you share some blame, with the amount reduced by your percentage. There is also no cap on non-economic damages like pain and lost enjoyment of life.

Network attorneys work on contingency, meaning no fee unless there is a recovery. They also handle communication with the other driver's insurer so you are not pushed into a recorded statement you may later regret.
