Personal Injury Representation in Anaheim
Akhavan Law Firm takes personal injury cases throughout California, including Anaheim. We do not have an office in Anaheim — matters from this area are handled by our Beverly Hills (main) office, and we work with you by phone, video and mail, or meet you at home or in the hospital when that is easier.
Anaheim is where four freeways meet a city built around visitors. The I-5, the 57, the 91 and the 55 converge in and around it, including the interchange the CHP itself calls the Orange Crush, and the streets between them carry tourists, commuters and delivery traffic that do not know the area.
The consultation is free and there is no fee unless we win. Se habla español.
To be clear: this page describes an area we serve, not an office. Our address is 8570 Wilshire Blvd, Ste 210, Beverly Hills, CA 90211 and our number is (310) 694-8999.
What Applies to a Anaheim Case
Where Injuries Happen in Anaheim
The freeways named in Anaheim’s own transportation chapter — the I-5 running northwest to southeast, the 57 north to south, the 91 along the northern edge and the 55 ending at the Riverside Freeway — meet a street grid of wide arterials: Harbor, State College, Katella, Beach and Santa Ana Canyon Road. The CHP describes the nearby convergence of the I-5, SR-22 and SR-57 as the Orange Crush interchange.
Two patterns follow from that. The first is unfamiliar-driver collisions: visitors making sudden lane changes near exits, stopping unexpectedly for a turn, or misjudging a left across a wide arterial. The second is jurisdictional. A crash on Katella is an Anaheim Police report; the same trip two minutes later on the 57 is a CHP report from the Santa Ana Area office. Which one you need shapes how quickly the claim can start.
After an accident in Anaheim: what to do
Call 911 and get a report
On city streets Anaheim Police responds; on the freeways it is the CHP Santa Ana Area office.
Get checked the same day
Neck, back and head injuries often surface later. A gap in treatment is the first thing an adjuster points to.
File the DMV SR-1 within 10 days
Required when anyone is hurt or property damage exceeds $1,000. We can prepare it for you.
Photograph everything
The vehicles, the street, the signals and your injuries. Get witness names and phone numbers.
Do not give a recorded statement
You are not required to give one to the other side’s insurer. Talk to a lawyer first.
Call us, 24/7
(310) 694-8999. We request the report, notify the insurers and handle the calls.
Representation Without a Local Office
Anaheim is about forty minutes from the Beverly Hills office in ordinary traffic, and we meet clients in person when it helps. The work that decides a case, though, is done on paper and by phone.
What we handle from Anaheim
Collisions on the freeways that ring the city, and the ones that happen on the wide arterials feeding the resort and stadium area: rear-end impacts in stop-and-go queues near exits, left turns across Harbor and Katella, pedestrians crossing between parking structures and venues, and rideshare and shuttle traffic dropping off in moving lanes. We also handle falls and unsafe conditions in hotels, parking structures and entertainment venues, dog bites, and wrongful death.
The public-entity question in Anaheim
Anaheim runs its own utilities and maintains its own streets, and OCTA buses serve the city. It also owns venues where large crowds move through controlled spaces. When a city vehicle, a transit bus or a dangerous condition on public property is part of what happened, a written government claim is generally due within about six months instead of two years. That is the first thing we check, not the last.
How the work actually happens
We request the report from Anaheim Police or the CHP Santa Ana Area office depending on where it happened, canvass hotels and businesses for footage before it cycles, preserve vehicle evidence, identify every policy that could respond — including commercial and venue coverage — and document injuries through your treating doctors. Hearings at the Central Justice Center are ours to attend, not yours.
Why Our Clients Trust Us
Questions About Anaheim Cases
Do you have an office in Anaheim?
No. Our closest office to Anaheim is Beverly Hills (main), and our main office is at 8570 Wilshire Blvd, Ste 210, Beverly Hills. We accept cases from Anaheim and throughout California, and we work by phone, video and mail or meet you where you are. If you would rather have a lawyer with an office in your own city, that is a reasonable preference and we will tell you so plainly.
Where would my case be heard if I live in Anaheim?
At the Central Justice Center, 700 Civic Center Dr W in Santa Ana. Orange County Superior Court’s own Court Designation List routes limited and unlimited civil cases from Anaheim there, and complex civil matters to the Civil Complex Center a few blocks away. It is roughly fifteen minutes from Anaheim, and in practice most cases resolve without anyone appearing at trial.
Who takes the crash report in Anaheim?
On city streets, Anaheim Police Department, 425 S Harbor Blvd; non-fatal collision report requests are handled through the department’s online process. On the freeways, CHP Santa Ana Area, 2031 E Santa Clara Ave, Santa Ana, whose patrol area includes I-5, I-405, SR-55, SR-22 and SR-91. Knowing which agency responded tells you where to request the report, and we can request it for you.
Does it matter that none of your lawyers sit in Anaheim?
For the work that decides a case, rarely. Reports, medical records, evidence and negotiations with insurers are handled the same way remotely. Where physical presence does matter — depositions, mediations and hearings — we travel; you do not.
How long do I have to bring a claim?
Generally two years from the injury under Code of Civil Procedure section 335.1. If a city, county, transit agency or the state is responsible, a written claim is generally due within six months under Government Code section 911.2. That shorter deadline is the one most often missed.
What does it cost?
Nothing upfront. We work on a contingency fee, so we are paid only if we recover money for you. There is no hourly billing and no fee if we do not win, and the consultation is free.
Do you help Spanish-speaking clients?
Yes. Se habla español. Consultations, documents and case updates are handled in Spanish, and this page is also available in Spanish.
