WALNUT CREEK AUTO ACCIDENT PERSONAL INJURY ATTORNEY

Did you know that Walnut Creek is one of the most desirable cities in the U.S.?

Walnut Creek is known as the Jewel of the East Bay, and for good reason.

Walnut Creek has the small town charm of a tight-knit community, yet it's still in the heart of the Bay Area, close to San Francisco and San Jose.

Walnut Creek has preserved thousands of acres of open space for the use and enjoyment of residents (of all species!) and visitors alike.

The City of Walnut Creek Open Space division manages over 3,000 acres of open space, set aside to preserve natural resources, protect wildlife habitat and corridors, and provide recreation opportunities. Here are the

  • Acalanes Ridge
  • Borges Ranch
  • Howe Homestead Park
  • Lyme Ridge
  • Sugarloaf
  • Shell Ridge: The largest open space area. Includes 1,420 acres of open space and 31 miles of trails, is close to downtown Walnut Creek and continues all the way to Mount Diablo.

If so, you're not alone. When it comes to auto accidents in Walnut Creek, almost half of the time, they're rear-enders and most accidents involve speeding.

If you got hurt in Walnut Creek, 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 Walnut Creek, here are the Contra Costa County emergency rooms where you can get checked out 24 hours a day. Please scroll down the list to find Walnut Creek.

Do Most Walnut Creek Auto Accident Cases Go To Court?

Many Walnut Creek injury accident cases get resolved without going to court. Other cases have to be fought through the court.

In Walnut Creek, 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, Walnut Creek 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.
