Car crashes happen every day across Modesto and Stanislaus County, from busy surface streets like McHenry Avenue and Briggsmore Avenue to high-speed stretches of Highway 99 and Highway 132.

How a participating law firm may review your situation
After you submit a free case review, your inquiry is routed to a participating California law firm. A firm may contact you to learn more, explain how California claims generally work, and determine whether they may be able to help. There is no cost to request a review, and submitting the form does not create an attorney-client relationship.
What information to prepare
- The date and location of what happened
- Any report or exchange of information, if you have it
- Photos of the scene, vehicles or equipment, and any injuries
- Names and contact info for any witnesses
- Records of medical treatment you have received
- Insurance or employer information, as applicable
Why quick action matters in California
California generally allows two years from the date of injury to file a personal injury lawsuit, but shorter deadlines can apply — especially for claims involving a government entity, which may require a formal claim within six months. Evidence also fades quickly. This is general information, not legal advice; a participating law firm can explain the deadlines that apply to you.
