Why we started the wire
A crash on the 5, the 805 or a city street leaves you with a list of jobs and little time. You need the right report from the right agency. You need to know which California deadlines apply. You may need to decide whether to talk to a lawyer. SD Crash Wire puts those jobs on one page for people hurt in San Diego and the rest of San Diego County.
The home page is the whole guide. The crash file shows where and when people die on the county’s roads, from federal crash data. The report section explains which agency has your report and how to get it. The deadline section covers California’s time limits and fault rule.
Who writes it
SD Crash Wire writes and publishes every page under its own name. We do not use made-up authors, and no lawyer or outside expert reviews the pages. The information is general. It explains how the process works in California, but it cannot assess one person’s crash.
SD Crash Wire is not a law firm and does not give legal advice.
The free case review
The home page has a free case review. You answer four questions: when the crash happened, whether another driver caused it, whether you have pain or injuries, and whether you already signed with a lawyer. If the answers fit, you add a name and phone number.
We send the request to our partner law firm. Our partner’s automated assistant calls you, checks a few details and can connect you with its intake team. The review is free and you do not have to hire anyone. Our partner decides whether it can help.
