One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesTraffic in Oakland moves through a tight knot of freeways and surface streets, and when it goes wrong, the fallout lands on ordinary people. In 2025, Alameda County's largest city recorded 2,054 injury collisions. Those crashes left 2,680 people hurt and took 28 lives. Public records point to three corridors with the heaviest collision volume: International Boulevard, I-580, and I-880. Reports also cluster on Fridays between 5 p.m. and 7 p.m., when the commute home is at its thickest. If one of those numbers now describes your week, you probably have questions about medical bills, a damaged car, and an adjuster who keeps calling. LawProactive exists to answer the first one: who can help. We are a free service, not a law firm. Tell us what happened, and we connect you with an independent personal injury attorney who handles Oakland car accident claims on contingency, meaning no fee unless there is a recovery. The attorney takes it from there; you focus on getting better.
California gives you two years to file most car accident lawsuits, but a claim involving a city bus, a public agency vehicle, or a road maintained by a government entity can require a written claim in as little as six months. An attorney can pin down which deadline applies to you.
California follows pure comparative fault, so even if you were partly responsible for a collision on I-880, you can still recover, with your share of fault reducing the amount rather than erasing it. That is worth knowing before an adjuster suggests otherwise.

*No attorney's fee unless there is a recovery. The client may be responsible for court costs and case expenses.
You are not required to give the other driver's insurer a recorded statement, and doing so early rarely helps you. Keep photos, the police report number, medical records, and witness contacts; an attorney working on contingency can handle the insurer for you.
