Trinity County Personal Injury Lawyer
Trinity County's remote mountain roads — including SR-299 (Trinity Highway), SR-36, and SR-3 — generate serious car, motorcycle, and truck accidents, especially in winter when roads ice over. The county's timber, mining, and outdoor recreation industries (Trinity Alps Wilderness, Trinity Lake) create workplace injury and premises liability claims. Because Trinity County has no trauma center, seriously injured victims are often airlifted to Mercy Medical Center in Redding, which affects medical cost calculations in personal injury claims.
Statute of Limitations: 2 years from date of injury (CCP § 335.1). If Trinity County, Caltrans, or another government entity caused or contributed to your injury — for example, a road defect on SR-299 or a county-maintained bridge — you must file a Government Tort Claim with Trinity County within 6 months of the incident (Government Code § 912.4) before you can sue. Missing this deadline permanently bars your lawsuit. Contact HellaHurt immediately after any government-related injury.
