If the wreck happened near Palmetto Avenue, Highway 1, and the Sharp Park approaches, the filing county is San Mateo County. A later drive to 24th Street does not move the case.

For a wreck inside this county, start with the San Mateo County Superior Court. Hours and the filing desk are on that court’s official page. An office in this city does not pull an out-of-county collision into this court.

The same two-year injury-and-death deadline in section 335.1 applies in this city. Speaking with an insurance company leaves that deadline running. Recheck clerk hours and the courthouse telephone on the official site before a visit.
