Orinda's rolling roads and tree-lined lanes feed straight into SR-24, one of the busiest corridors linking this Contra Costa County community to the rest of the Bay Area. Public records show 78 injury collisions in the most recent final year, leaving 112 people hurt and, tragically, 1 person dead. Traffic tends to bunch up on Wednesday mornings between 7 and 9, when commuters merge onto SR-24 Eastbound and Westbound in a hurry to beat the backup. If you were hurt in one of these crashes, the aftermath can be confusing β medical bills, missed work, insurance calls that seem to go nowhere. We're here to help injured people in Orinda understand what happened and explore your options. Our team handles personal injury claims and works on contingency, meaning there's no fee unless we recover money for you. Reaching out costs nothing and starts with a simple conversation about what you're dealing with.
California law gives most injury victims two years from the date of the incident to file a claim. If a government entity is involved β say, a road defect β that window can shrink to as little as six months, so timing matters.
