About this record

Searching for a personal injury lawyer in Contra Costa County? Counsel for injuries caused by another's negligence: collisions, falls, and unsafe conditions. This page indexes the county's personal injury coverage from the State Bar of California's official roll, with identity-verification markers where available.

An East Bay county of more than a million residents stretching from the Carquinez Strait refineries to the Highway 4 and 680 suburbs; the Wakefield Taylor Courthouse in Martinez anchors its civil calendars. Venue for most personal injury matters arising in the county lies with the Superior Court of California, County of Contra Costa, seated at Martinez.

The law also keeps time: two years from the date of injury under Cal. Code Civ. Proc. § 335.1. Claims against a public entity require an administrative claim within six months under Cal. Gov. Code § 911.2. Property-damage-only claims run three years under Cal. Code Civ. Proc. § 338. The plaque below carries the citation; the roster that follows carries the rest.
