Personal injury case review for Santa Barbara County
If you were hurt in an accident in Santa Barbara 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 Santa Maria, Santa Barbara, Lompoc, Goleta, and Carpinteria and the rest of the county.
About two minutes. No cost and no obligation.
What kind of accident were you in?
Santa Barbara County lies on the Central Coast, with Santa Barbara as the county seat and Santa Maria as its largest city. US 101 runs the length of the county, passing through the Gaviota Pass between the two. The review covers crashes on US 101, Highway 1, Highway 154, and Highway 246 as well as on local streets in Santa Barbara, the county seat; where in Santa Barbara County the accident happened does not change the questions it asks.
Care in Santa Barbara County may mean a hospital near the coast, an urgent care in Santa Maria, 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 happens after you check
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.
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.
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.
Questions people ask
Does the accident have to be in Santa Barbara County?
No. This page is written for people in Santa Barbara 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 Santa Barbara County be heard?
Civil cases that arise in Santa Barbara County are generally filed in the Superior Court of California, County of Santa Barbara, which sits in Santa Barbara, though where a particular claim belongs depends on the facts. The review does not ask about it.
I was hurt on US 101 in Santa Barbara 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 Santa Barbara 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 Santa Barbara County is a long drive. Does that affect eligibility?
No. The criteria look for treatment within 14 days of an accident in Santa Barbara County, or a plan to get it, not for treatment at a particular place; a clinic in Santa Barbara, a regional hospital, or a telehealth visit all count.
