Yorba Linda

Yorba Linda sits in Orange County. If the collision happened in Yorba Linda, the filing generally belongs 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 branch, and confirm the branch if a notice names a different courthouse.

If someone was hurt or killed in Yorba Linda, 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. Living nearby, or commuting through the city, does not by itself choose the filing place if the wreck happened somewhere else.
