If you got hurt in Danville, keep in mind that it's important to hire a good attorney from the start.
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 Danville, here are the Contra Costa County emergency rooms where you can get checked out 24 hours a day.
Do Most Danville Auto Accident Cases Go To Court?
Many Danville auto accident and personal injury accident cases get resolved without going to court. Other cases have to be fought through the court.
In Danville, 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, Danville 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.
