One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesRichmond sits where I-80 and I-580 meet, and the Richmond Parkway ties the two together across the north side of the city. Barrett Avenue carries much of the local traffic in between. In 2025, the most recent final reporting year, Contra Costa County records list 453 injury collisions inside Richmond, with 618 people hurt and 8 lives lost. The counts tend to rise on Thursday evenings between 5 and 7 p.m., when the commute home is at its heaviest. If one of those collisions involved you, the next few weeks matter. Medical bills arrive before the insurance company decides anything, and the other driver's adjuster may call quickly asking for a recorded statement. You are not required to give one. LawProactive is a free service, not a law firm. We connect Richmond residents with an independent personal injury attorney who handles car accident claims on contingency, so there is no fee unless there is a recovery. The consultation costs nothing, and you decide whether to move forward.
California gives most car accident victims two years to file, but a claim involving a city, county, or state vehicle or roadway can require notice within six months. An attorney can tell you which deadline applies to your crash.
California follows pure comparative fault, so even if you were partly responsible for a collision on the Parkway or I-580, you may still recover the portion that was not your fault. Adjusters know this, and they may try to shift more blame onto you than the facts support.
