Aliso Viejo Personal Injury Lawyer

Who writes the report

Aliso Viejo has no police department of its own. It contracts with the Orange County Sheriff's Department, whose Southwest Operations station is in the city, so a crash on city streets is investigated by deputies working as Aliso Viejo Police Services.

• City streets — the Orange County Sheriff's Department, Aliso Viejo Police Services
• The 73 toll road — the California Highway Patrol

Get the report number at the scene if you can. If not, note the agency, the date and the nearest cross streets or exit.

The 73, and the streets drivers use to avoid it

The 73 runs through Aliso Viejo as a toll road. The city's own transportation plan notes that the toll pushes many short trips onto local streets instead, which adds to congestion on Aliso Creek Road, Aliso Viejo Parkway and Pacific Park Drive. Those are wide, busy arterials with shopping centers, schools and neighborhoods along them, and turns across several lanes of traffic are behind many of the worst crashes.

If you were rear-ended in that traffic, liability is usually the easy part. What the insurer will fight is how badly you were hurt.

Where the injured are taken

Serious injuries in Aliso Viejo are usually taken to Providence Mission Hospital in neighboring Mission Viejo, South Orange County's only 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 Aliso Viejo 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.
