El Sobrante

Roads around San Pablo Dam Road and the Appian Way approaches sit in Contra Costa County. A wreck there is generally heard in that county’s superior court.

When the collision occurred in this county, civil papers usually go to the Contra Costa County Superior Court. Recheck the branch, clerk hours, and phone on that court’s official page. If the wreck actually happened in a different county, file there instead.

An ordinary injury claim here is still on California’s two-year injury-and-death deadline in section 335.1. Venue stays with the county of the collision. Save the official crash paperwork and calendar any six-month public-entity notice.
