San Clemente

A collision in San Clemente 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. The usual civil window for an injury or death claim arising in San Clemente is two years, as section 335.1 provides.

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. Confirm the courthouse, the hours, and the telephone on the official page the morning you go.
