San Rafael sits along the US-101 corridor, where the freeway meets local surface streets like 2nd Street, 3rd Street, and Lincoln Avenue. Public records show 286 injury collisions in the most recent year, leaving 383 people hurt and 5 people dead on city and county roads. These streets carry commuters heading to and from the freeway, delivery trucks, and pedestrians crossing near downtown, and that mix of speeds and turning movements is part of why collisions happen. If you were hurt in one of these crashes, LawProactive can help. We are a free service, not a law firm, and we connect injured people with an independent personal injury attorney who works on contingency, meaning there's no fee unless you recover money. Getting hurt already disrupts your income, your routine, and your peace of mind. Our job is simply to make that first connection easier so you can focus on healing while someone else looks at what happened and what your options are.
California generally gives you two years from the date of injury to file a claim, though claims against a government entity can require notice in as little as six months. Acting sooner preserves evidence and options.
