Anaheim

A collision in Anaheim is handled as an Orange County civil matter in the Orange County Superior Court, often at the Central Justice Center at 700 Civic Center Drive West in Santa Ana.

Use the official Orange County locations page to confirm the courthouse, and confirm the branch if a notice names a different courthouse. A later injury or death filing from a Anaheim wreck still has to respect the two-year period in section 335.1.

California measures fault in shares, so a person who was hurt can still seek damages even if that person also made a mistake, though the recovery is reduced by that share. A public-entity theory can also put a six-month written claim on the date list under Government Code section 911.2. Living nearby, or commuting through the city, does not by itself choose the filing place if the wreck happened somewhere else.
