One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesMost drives across San Mateo are uneventful, right up until one isn't. In 2025, the city logged 386 injury collisions, and 529 people were hurt in them; four of those crashes were fatal. Public records show reports clustering on Wednesdays between 5 p.m. and 7 p.m., which tracks with the commute flow along US-101, S El Camino Real, and SR-92. Those corridors simply carry a lot of traffic, and volume brings collisions. If you were injured in one of them, the paperwork that follows can feel heavier than the crash itself. LawProactive exists to make one part simpler. Tell us what happened, and we connect you, at no cost, with an independent personal injury attorney who handles San Mateo County car accident claims on contingency. You pay nothing unless there is a recovery. Before you speak with the other driver's insurer, it helps to have someone in your corner who knows what a fair claim looks like and what evidence needs to be saved right now.
California allows two years to file most car accident claims, but if a city, county, or Caltrans vehicle or road condition is involved, a government claim may be due in as little as six months. Getting connected early keeps those options open.
Under California's pure comparative fault rule, you can still recover even if you share some blame for a collision on SR-92 or El Camino Real; your recovery is simply reduced by your percentage. An attorney can push back when an insurer tries to inflate that percentage.
