Venue follows the collision, not the easiest trip from Noe Valley on Muni or a freeway. A collision inside San Francisco is generally a San Francisco Superior Court matter, commonly at the Civic Center Courthouse at 400 McAllister Street, unless a current assignment order says otherwise. Confirm the building on the official Civic Center Courthouse page.
Oakland, Berkeley, Alameda, and neighboring East Bay cities sit in Alameda County, and a crash there is ordinarily an Alameda County Superior Court matter. Confirm the courthouse and the filing desk on that court’s official page. Walnut Creek, Concord, Richmond, and Brentwood in eastern Contra Costa County belong in Contra Costa. San Mateo, Redwood City, Daly City, and the Peninsula cities belong in San Mateo County. San Jose, the Santa Clara portion of Palo Alto, and much of the South Bay belong in Santa Clara County. Marin, Sonoma, Solano, and Napa each have their own superior courts as well.
Some postal labels in this market, including Bel Tiburon on the Belvedere-Tiburon peninsula, keep the city name used in the office list. Those area pages use that postal city and explain the peninsula or neighborhood in ordinary language. The two-year deadline in California section 335.1 still applies in each of those counties. A Noe Valley address does not move a wreck that happened in Oakland, San Jose, or San Rafael.
