Personal injury case review for Monterey County

If you were hurt in an accident in Monterey County within the last 30 days and someone else was at fault, the free case review takes about two minutes and tells you whether you meet Nozar Law's current criteria. It covers Salinas, Seaside, Monterey, Marina, and Soledad and the rest of the county.

About two minutes. No cost and no obligation.

Question 1 of 10

What kind of accident were you in?

Checking the basics8%

Monterey County pairs the Salinas Valley, a major farming region, with the Monterey Peninsula and the Big Sur coast. Salinas is the county seat, and US 101 and Highway 1 are its main routes. The review covers crashes on US 101, Highway 1, Highway 68, and Highway 156 as well as on local streets in Salinas, the county seat; where in Monterey County the accident happened does not change the questions it asks.

Care in Monterey County may mean a hospital near the coast, an urgent care in Salinas, or your own doctor; any of them counts, as long as the visit was within 14 days of the accident or you are planning to go.

What to expect

What happens after you check

  1. Answer a few quick questions

    The free case review asks what happened, how to reach you, when it happened, and whether you were treated. Nothing else.

  2. Confirm your number

    We text a short code to confirm it is really you. This is also how the firm records that you agreed to be contacted.

  3. A short follow-up call

    If your answers meet the criteria, a member of the Nozar Law intake team calls to confirm details and explain possible next steps. Whether to move forward is entirely your decision.

Common questions

Questions people ask

Does the accident have to be in Monterey County?

No. This page is written for people in Monterey County, but the review covers accidents anywhere in California; the ZIP code question only confirms you are in the state.

Where would a case from Monterey County be heard?

Civil cases that arise in Monterey County are generally filed in the Superior Court of California, County of Monterey, which sits in Salinas, though where a particular claim belongs depends on the facts. The review does not ask about it.

I was hurt on US 101 in Monterey County. Does it matter which agency wrote the report?

No. A CHP report from US 101 and a report from a city police department or the Monterey County Sheriff work the same way for the intake team; the review asks only whether a report was filed.

The nearest hospital to me in Monterey County is a long drive. Does that affect eligibility?

No. The criteria look for treatment within 14 days of an accident in Monterey County, or a plan to get it, not for treatment at a particular place; a clinic in Salinas, a regional hospital, or a telehealth visit all count.
