Hemet

A collision in Hemet is handled as a Riverside County civil matter in the Riverside Superior Court, often at the Historic Courthouse at 4050 Main Street in Riverside.

Use the official Riverside locations page to confirm the courthouse, subject to the court’s current civil assignment order. If someone was hurt or killed in Hemet, section 335.1 generally gives two years to start the lawsuit.

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. Ask the responding department for its official crash report, and send an SR-1 when Vehicle Code section 16000 requires it. Keep the wreck date, the report request, and any claim dates on one checklist.
