Long Beach Personal Injury FAQs

Yes, 7th Street is a hot spot for collisions in Long Beach, California. In May of 2025, two people died from a head-on crash on 7th Street. Similarly, in June 2025, a driver was killed when he crashed at high speed into a wall on 7th Street.

Yes, you can file a personal injury claim if you are in an accident caused by someone else at any intersection in Long Beach. California operates under a pure comparative negligence system. This means that even if you are partially at fault, you can still recover compensation. However, your share of fault reduces the amount of compensation recoverable. Our firm can investigate local camera footage or police reports to collect evidence of the other party’s fault and pursue full compensation.

Under California Government Code § 830–835.4, a public entity like the City of Long Beach can be held liable if you establish the following:

  • A dangerous condition existed on public property, such as a lack of signage, improper maintenance, or poor intersection design.
  • The city knew or should have known about the dangerous condition.

The Barnes Firm has in-depth experience filing claims against the city and could determine whether they are liable in your case.

If you were rear-ended in Long Beach, you can file a personal injury or property damage claim against the at-fault driver. You must collect adequate evidence to support your claim, including photos or videos from the incident, medical records from sustained injuries, and police reports. Our firm can manage insurance legal filings locally, allowing you to focus on recovery.

California’s statute of limitations for personal injury claims requires you to file within two years from the date of the injury. Some exceptions apply, including for cases involving public entities. Because of this, it is essential to work with a legal professional who can determine the proper filing deadlines. We can ensure you file your claim before the statutory deadline passes.

“My personal injury lawyer, John A. Sheehan, and case manager, Deborah Espindola, made the process of my case run so smoothly. I felt very well taken care of throughout. Thank you to the both of you!”
