San Carlos

A claim after a wreck by San Carlos Avenue, El Camino Real, and US 101 follows San Mateo County filing rules. Living elsewhere in the Bay Area does not relocate the courthouse.

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.

Use section 335.1 as the default two-year deadline for injury or death, unless a more specific rule applies. Shares of blame affect the amount, not the courthouse. Recheck hours on the court’s official site prior to a visit.
