Staying Safe and Documenting a Irvine Accident

Irvine’s freeways and arterials, including I-5, I-405, SR-133 and Jamboree Road, carry commuters, business traffic and shoppers every day. That mix produces freeway crashes, intersection collisions and parking-lot incidents.
If you are hurt, get medical care, photograph the scene and any road hazards, and keep the other driver’s and insurer’s information. Avoid giving recorded statements to an insurer before you understand your rights. The county-wide crash data below shows where fatal crashes have clustered.

Time Limits for Irvine Injury and Government Claims

Most Irvine injury claims have a two-year filing deadline. California Code of Civil Procedure § 335.1 generally gives two years from the date of injury, and wrongful death claims also generally carry a two-year period (CCP § 335.1 and § 377.60).
Claims involving a city, county or other public entity move faster. Government Code § 911.2 generally requires a written claim within six months of the incident, and missing it can end the claim. Read about government claims or call (714) 975-5777 promptly so your deadlines can be reviewed.
