LOS BANOS AUTO ACCIDENT PERSONAL INJURY ATTORNEY

Los Banos (or Baños depending on who you ask) is right on the west side of Merced County and is the county's second largest city. It is in the center of California, just two hours or so from San Francisco, Oakland, Sacramento, and Yosemite National Park. California's Monterey Peninsula and the Pacific Ocean are accessible in one and a half hours, as well as the Valley's major cities of Stockton and Fresno. The Silicon Valley is a little more than an hour's drive away.

Los Banos is a very family-oriented community with a small town feel, despite its population increases and growth in recent years.

Los Baños has a long and rich history of Portuguese and Spanish immigrants, like so many places to the west of the San Joaquin Valley.

If you got hurt in Los Baños, 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 Los Baños, here are the Merced County emergency rooms where you can get checked out 24 hours a day. Please scroll down to find Los Baños.

Most Los Banos auto accident and personal injury accident cases get resolved without going to court.

Other cases have to be fought through the court.

In Los Banos, injury accident cases get filed and handled in the Civil Division of the Merced County Courts.

In 1998, all Merced County Trial Courts were unified to form the Merced County Superior Court. This happened because the voters approved a constitutional amendment letting Merced County judges merge their superior and municipal courts. Before then, superior court and municipal court were separate.

Currently, Los Banos auto accident and injury cases are heard in a courthouse located in Merced.

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