Alameda

For a crash in Alameda, start with the county, not with the most convenient office. The roads around Park Street, Webster Street, and the tubes and bridges onto the island sit in Alameda County.

the Alameda County Superior Court is the usual civil venue for a crash that happened in this county, subject to that court’s assignment. Use that court’s official page to confirm the desk. A later move to Noe Valley does not change the county of the wreck.

Section 335.1 is the usual two-year injury-and-death deadline. Blame can be split into percentages, which may shrink what is recovered without changing venue. Request the official crash paperwork from whichever department worked the scene, local or Highway Patrol.
