Mission Viejo

The official path after a wreck in Mission Viejo starts with the county in which the collision occurred. That county is Orange County, and the Orange County Superior Court is generally the court, often at the Central Justice Center at 700 Civic Center Drive West in Santa Ana.

Check the official Orange County locations page, and confirm the branch if a notice names a different courthouse. An ordinary injury or death lawsuit after a wreck in Mission Viejo generally must be started within two years under Code of Civil Procedure section 335.1. An adjuster letter that treats the wreck as all-or-nothing is not the official California comparative-fault rule.

Obtain the official crash report from the department that handled the scene, which may be a local department or the Highway Patrol depending on the road. Follow the official statute and the current court page when a short recap here is thinner than the official text.
