FREMONT ACCIDENT PERSONAL INJURY ATTORNEY

In 1846, John C. Frémont mapped a trail through Mission Pass, providing American settlers access to the southeastern San Francisco Bay Area. Historians refer to Frémont as “The Great Pathfinder.” On March 8, 2021, for the fourth time in the last 5 years, Fremont was rated the number one Happiest City in the U.S. This prestigious rank was based on key "happiness" factors like mental well-being, physical health, strong social connections, job satisfaction, income, and employment. In 2021, Fremont’s population reached 247,708.

Fremont boasts 34 parks and playgrounds. Coyote Hills Regional Park is a large park in Fremont whose winter beauty is a wonder to behold. Dedicated to public use in 1967, Coyote Hills sprawls 1,266 acres of marshland and rolling grassland covered hills. This popular park is located along the eastern shore of San Francisco Bay, northwest of Fremont and Newark. Visitors enjoy bicycling, bird-watching, exploring nature, jogging, picnicking and walking. Enjoyed year round, spring, summer, and fall tend to be the most popular.  Another beautiful Fremont park is the Quarry Lakes Regional Recreation Area:

If you got hurt in Fremont, 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.

Do Most Fremont Auto Accident Cases Go To Court?

Many injury accident cases get resolved without going to court.

Other case have to be fought through the court.

In Fremont, injury accident cases get filed and handled in the Civil Division of the Alameda County Courts. In 1998, all Alameda County Trial Courts were unified to form the Alameda County Superior Court.

This happened because the voters approved a constitutional amendment letting Alameda County judges merge their superior and municipal courts. Before then, superior court and municipal court were separate.

Currently, Fremont auto accident and injury cases are heard in courts located in Oakland.

Accident and injury cases are called civil cases, unless they happen at work. If they happen at work, they're called workers compensation.

The only workers compensation cases that I handle are those that result in the death of the worker. Those cases are called death benefits cases.
