Sonora is a small city, but its roads carry a steady stream of daily traffic, and collisions happen here just like anywhere else. In the most recent reporting year, Tuolumne County recorded 45 injury collisions in and around Sonora, leaving 52 people hurt. Corridors like Rt 49, Mono Way, S Washington Street, and Sanguinetti Road see the highest volume of reported crashes based on public records β these are simply the busiest stretches, not verdicts about their safety. If you were hurt in one of these collisions, or in a fall, workplace incident, or other accident, LawProactive can help. We are a free connection service β not a law firm β that puts injured people in touch with an independent personal injury attorney who can review the details of what happened. Attorneys in our network work on contingency, meaning there's no fee unless they recover compensation for you. Getting connected costs nothing and comes with no obligation to move forward.
Most injury claims in California must be filed within two years of the incident. If a government entity was involved, that window can shrink to as little as six months, so timing matters.
