ANTIOCH ACCIDENT PERSONAL INJURY ATTORNEY

Antioch is in the East Bay region of the San Francisco Bay Area, right along the San Joaquin-Sacramento River Delta. With a population of around 114,000, Antioch is the second largest city in CoCo County and one of the oldest towns in California. In 1848, John Marsh built a landing that he named “Marsh's Landing” on the San Joaquin River, as a shipping point for his 17,000-acre ranch. In 1851, its new minister convinced the residents to change the name of the town to Antioch, for the Biblical City of Antioch. Today, Antioch is a “bedroom community.”." Almost 90 percent of its workforce commutes elsewhere for work. Antioch's BART station opened in May 2018.

Highway 4 Is An Antioch Accident Magnet

A big hot-spot in Antioch is Highway 4 - most Antioch accidents occur around the vicinity of Highway 4, but not necessarily on Highway 4. Highway 4 is a major commuter highway running right through Antioch, and it ends at the Antioch bridge. Highway 4 has 5 eastbound exits and 3 westbound exits 4.

24.8% of Antioch crashes happen on the highway. This is much less than nearby Hayward, where more than 50% of crashes are on the highway.

From 2015 to 2020, almost 1/3 of Antioch crashes happened on these streets:

• Contra Loma Boulevard near Highway 4: 32 accidents
• Lone Tree Way near Highway 4: 28 accidents
• West 10th near L Street: 20 accidents
• West 10th near A Street: 20 accidents

Arterial roads are ones that bring traffic to and from neighborhoods. Here are three Antioch arterials. What do they have in common? They all cross Highway 4: Arterial and approximate daily traffic:

• Deer Valley Road 4,827
• Hillcrest Avenue 426
• Lone Tree Way 9,177

When it comes to Antioch crashes, most of them are broadsides. This is when the front of one vehicle hits the side of another vehicle. Broadsides are also known as "t-bone" crashes. Here's the TIMS breakdown for the years 2015 to 2020: 

Most Antioch crashes also involve someone who was speeding. Here are the laws that got broken right before 2015 to 2020 crashes. Speeding tops the list, followed by improper turning movements, for example making an illegal U-turn.

The insurance adjuster is not your friend - even your own insurance company will look for the cheapest way to get rid of your claim. After you get injured, it's important to seek medical care right away.

Some injuries can only be found by a doctor. Other injuries get worse if they don't get treated on time. If you suffered personal injuries in Antioch, here are the Contra Costa County emergency rooms where you can get checked out 24 hours a day. Please scroll down for Antioch.

Do Most Antioch Auto Accident Cases Go To Court?

Many Antioch and personal injury accident cases get resolved without going to court. Other cases have to be fought through the court. In Antioch, injury accident cases get filed and handled in the Civil Division of the Contra Costa County Courts. In 1998, all Contra Costa County Trial Courts were unified to form the Contra Costa County Superior Court. This happened because the voters approved a constitutional amendment letting Contra Costa County judges merge their superior and municipal courts. Before then, superior court and municipal court were separate.

Currently, Antioch auto accident and injury cases are heard at the Wakefield Taylor Courthouse in Martinez, California. Accident and injury cases are called civil cases, unless they happen at work. If they happen at work, they're called workers compensation.

Here is the contact information for the Antioch Police Department in case you need to reach them regarding the accident:
