Personal injury case review for Santa Cruz County
If you were hurt in an accident in Santa Cruz 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 Cruz, Watsonville, Scotts Valley, and Capitola and the rest of the county.
About two minutes. No cost and no obligation.
What kind of accident were you in?
Santa Cruz County lies on the northern shore of Monterey Bay, with Santa Cruz as the county seat and Watsonville as its second largest city. Highway 1 follows the coast, and Highway 17 crosses the Santa Cruz Mountains to Silicon Valley. The review covers crashes on Highway 1, Highway 17, Highway 9, and Highway 129 as well as on local streets in Santa Cruz, the county seat; where in Santa Cruz County the accident happened does not change the questions it asks.
Care in Santa Cruz County may mean a hospital near the coast, an urgent care in Santa Cruz, 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 Cruz County?
No. This page is written for people in Santa Cruz 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 Cruz County be heard?
Civil cases that arise in Santa Cruz County are generally filed in the Superior Court of California, County of Santa Cruz, which sits in Santa Cruz, though where a particular claim belongs depends on the facts. The review does not ask about it.
I was hurt on Highway 1 in Santa Cruz County. Does it matter which agency wrote the report?
No. A CHP report from Highway 1 and a report from a city police department or the Santa Cruz 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 Cruz County is a long drive. Does that affect eligibility?
No. The criteria look for treatment within 14 days of an accident in Santa Cruz County, or a plan to get it, not for treatment at a particular place; a clinic in Santa Cruz, a regional hospital, or a telehealth visit all count.
