Laguna Niguel Personal Injury Lawyer

Who writes the report

Laguna Niguel has no police department of its own. It contracts with the Orange County Sheriff's Department, so a crash on city streets is investigated by deputies working as Laguna Niguel Police Services, based at 30111 Crown Valley Parkway.

• City streets — the Orange County Sheriff's Department, Laguna Niguel Police Services
• The 73 toll road and the 5 — the California Highway Patrol

Crown Valley, Alicia and the hills

Most of Laguna Niguel's traffic moves on a few wide arterials, Crown Valley Parkway, Alicia Parkway, Niguel Road and Golden Lantern among them, that climb and curve through the hills between the 5 and the coast. Hills and curves shorten sight lines, and turns across several lanes into shopping centers and neighborhoods are behind many of the worst crashes.

If you were in a car accident, the insurer will usually fight less about fault than about how badly you were hurt. Read rear-end collisions and pedestrian accidents if either fits.

Where the injured are taken

Serious injuries in Laguna Niguel are usually taken to Providence Mission Hospital in neighboring Mission Viejo, South Orange County's Level II trauma center for adults and children. Wherever you were treated, ask for your records and keep every bill and discharge sheet.

Where the case would be heard

An injury lawsuit from Laguna Niguel is heard at the Central Justice Center in Santa Ana, along with civil cases from the rest of the county. Most cases settle before trial, but that courthouse is what an insurer weighs when it values a case.
