Portola is a small Plumas County community, but its roads still see their share of collisions. In the most recent full year on record, Portola logged 2 injury collisions with 3 people hurt and, thankfully, no traffic deaths. Public crash records point to Rt 70, Grizzly Road, 155 Sixth Avenue, and 5th Avenue as the corridors with the highest reported collision counts, with activity tending to cluster on Saturday mornings between 9 and 11 a.m. Those numbers are simply public records β they don't label any street or route as dangerous, and every situation is different. If you were hurt in a crash near these roads, LawProactive can help. We are a free service, not a law firm, and we don't provide legal advice ourselves.

There's no upfront cost, and any attorney in our network works on contingency, meaning there's no fee unless you recover compensation. Reaching out costs you nothing and starts with a conversation, not a commitment.

California generally gives you two years from the date of an injury to file a claim, though claims against a government entity can require notice in as little as six months. Waiting too long can close the door on compensation entirely.
California follows pure comparative fault, meaning you can still recover damages even if you were partly responsible for the crash. Your compensation is simply reduced by your share of fault, not eliminated.
