Santa Rosa

A claim after a wreck by Mendocino Avenue, Fourth Street, and US 101 through Sonoma County follows Sonoma County filing rules. Living elsewhere in the Bay Area does not relocate the courthouse.

the Sonoma 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.

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.
