Poway sits at a crossroads of daily commuter traffic, with Rt 67, Poway Road, Pomerado Road, and Twin Peaks Road carrying residents through town every day. In the most recent full year on record, Poway saw 70 injury collisions, 95 people injured, and 5 traffic deaths β with reports tending to cluster on Wednesday evenings between 5 and 7 p.m., a time when commuters and school pickups overlap. Numbers like these are public record, not a verdict on any particular stretch of road, but they show that collisions happen here often enough that residents should know their options afterward.

Healthcare provider negligence cases
California generally gives injured people two years from the date of an accident to file a claim, though claims against a government entity can require notice in as little as six months. Waiting too long can mean losing the right to recover anything at all.
California follows pure comparative fault, so even if you were partly responsible for what happened, you may still recover damages β just reduced by your share of fault. An attorney can help sort out how fault gets divided.
Unlike some states, California doesn't cap non-economic damages like pain and suffering in typical injury cases. That means your recovery isn't artificially limited by a statutory ceiling.
Attorneys in our network work on contingency, so you don't pay out of pocket to have your case reviewed or pursued. Legal fees only come out of money actually recovered on your behalf.
