One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesPoint Arena is small enough that a fender bender on Main Street tends to involve someone you recognize. That closeness can make the aftermath awkward, especially when the other driver's insurer starts calling. In the most recent final crash year on record, 2020, the city logged zero injury collisions, zero people injured and zero traffic deaths. Even so, the public record shows where collisions have clustered: Port Road, Route 1, Lake Street and Main Street carry the highest counts, and reported crashes have tended to peak on Monday evenings between 7 and 9 p.m. If you were hurt in one, the steps you take in the first few days matter. Photograph the vehicles, keep every medical record, and hold off on giving the other side's adjuster a recorded statement until you have talked with counsel. LawProactive is not a law firm. We are a free service that connects Point Arena residents and visitors with an independent personal injury attorney who handles Mendocino County car accident claims on contingency, meaning no fee unless there is a recovery.
California gives you two years to file a car accident injury claim, but if a government entity is involved, such as a claim tied to a state or county road, notice may be required within six months. An attorney can pin down which deadline applies to your crash before it passes.
Under California's pure comparative fault rule, you can still recover even if you share some blame for the collision. Your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault rather than eliminated, and there is no cap on non-economic damages like pain and suffering in an ordinary car accident case.
