Common questions from HB accident victims.
PCH is the deadliest road in Orange County, cutting through Huntington Beach and seeing both high-speed and stop-and-go traffic, risky crossings, tourist distractions, and a history of fatal pedestrian and vehicle crashes.
Main hotspots include PCH at Warner, Magnolia, and Main; Beach Blvd from the 405 south; 405 exits at Beach/Goldenwest; Main St and the pier; Bolsa Chica curves; Edinger and Warner corridors; and the Pacific City shopping zone pedestrian crossings.
The Huntington Beach Police Department (HBPD) handles most collisions. Severe or multi-jurisdiction crashes may also bring in CHP or Orange County Sheriff's. Local lawyers know how to pull police reports from all these agencies.
During the US Open and July 4th, local roads are maxed out. Police have extra DUI checkpoints and traffic controls, but collisions, pedestrian accidents, and fender benders spike. If you were hurt during one of these events, it’s important to mention it to your attorney - evidence from police and event organizers may apply.
Most car accident cases from Huntington Beach are heard at the Orange County Superior Court - either Central Justice Center (Santa Ana) or the Westminster Courthouse, depending on case details. Local lawyers know these courts and local jury tendencies.
No. Most work on contingency - you pay nothing out of pocket. The typical fee is 33% of the settlement. You only pay if you win. Initial consults are always free.
