Most Santa Ana injuries trace back to another party's negligence. The cases we see most often include car accidents on Interstate 5 and State Route 55, rideshare crashes involving Uber and Lyft, pedestrian and bicycle accidents, and slip and fall incidents caused by unsafe conditions in retail stores, offices, and public buildings. Identifying who was at fault is central to your claim, and our attorneys handle that investigation for you.
Take a few key steps to protect your health and your claim: (1) seek medical care immediately and document your injuries; (2) report the incident and gather evidence, including photos and witness contacts; (3) file your insurance claim; and (4) speak with a personal injury lawyer before giving a recorded statement to any insurer. Santa Ana injury cases are generally handled through the Orange County court system at the Central Justice Center.
Wilshire Law Firm handles the full range of Santa Ana personal injury matters. These commonly include motor vehicle and rideshare accidents, pedestrian and bicycle accidents, premises liability claims, catastrophic injuries, and wrongful death claims. Because every case is unique, a legal professional can review the specifics of your situation during a free case review.
In most California personal injury cases you have two years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit (California Code of Civil Procedure §335.1). Claims against a government entity have much shorter deadlines — often six months to file a formal claim. Because missing a deadline can end your case, it's best to speak with a legal professional early.

How Do I Know If I Have a Personal Injury Claim in Santa Ana?
Three factors determine whether you have a valid personal injury claim — fault, damages, and proof. Fault means another party's negligence caused your injury. Damages are your losses, such as medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Proof includes medical records, photos, and witness statements. California's two-year statute of limitations generally applies, so contact Wilshire Law Firm for a free case evaluation.

Santa Ana Personal Injury FAQs
Our Most Frequently Asked Questions
We've answered the most common ones below. If yours isn't here, call us — we're available 24/7.
Santa Ana's dense surface streets and busy civic center area see frequent vehicle and pedestrian collisions, particularly at intersections. Drivers who fail to yield or drive carelessly can be held responsible for the injuries they cause.
As the Orange County seat, Santa Ana is home to the Orange County Superior Court, where personal injury lawsuits arising in the city are generally filed. Many claims settle through insurance negotiation before a case is filed.
California generally allows two years from the date of injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. Certain claims, such as those against public agencies, follow shorter deadlines, and exceptions can apply, so confirm your timeline early.
Because Santa Ana houses many county government offices, injuries involving a public entity are not unusual, and these claims generally require a written government claim within six months before suit. This early step is easy to overlook, so prompt action matters.
