Santa Ana

If you live in Santa Ana or were hurt there, do not assume a convenient Inland Empire shortcut is the right filing place. Santa Ana is in Orange County. A later civil case is generally filed in the Orange County Superior Court, often at the Central Justice Center at 700 Civic Center Drive West in Santa Ana, and confirm the branch if a notice names a different courthouse.

Santa Ana is the seat of Orange County, and the Central Justice Center is at 700 Civic Center Drive West. The official Orange County locations page is the page to check for the current address and hours. A later injury or death filing from a Santa Ana wreck still has to respect the two-year period in section 335.1.

Shared fault can reduce a recovery, but it does not move the courthouse and it does not freeze the filing window. 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. A published work phone on a local profile reaches that office, not this directory.
