Imperial Highway, the 57, and crash data

Imperial Highway, Brea Boulevard, Birch Street, and Carbon Canyon Road (Highway 142) are major Brea corridors. City streets and sidewalks are usually City responsibility. The City’s claims page says claims regarding damages at or on the 57 Freeway, Imperial Highway, or Highway 142 should be filed with Caltrans, claims regarding damages at Carbon Canyon Park should be filed with OC Parks, and claims regarding buses should be filed through OCTA. According to the California Office of Traffic Safety 2022 rankings, Brea (Group D) recorded 153 fatal and injury victims and ranked 4 of 90 cities for pedestrians under age 15 killed or injured. An OTS ranking of 1 is the highest collision rate in that group.

Filing a claim against the City of Brea

The City’s Claims page says the City Clerk’s Office accepts claims for damages, lawsuits, and subpoenas relating to City business. To request a claim form, call the City Clerk’s Office at (714) 990-7756, pick up a form from City Hall (City Clerk’s Office, 1 Civic Center Circle, 3rd Floor, Brea, CA 92821), or email cityclerksgroup@cityofbrea.gov. Complete the form with as much information as possible, including location, time of occurrence, pictures, and invoices. After the completed claim form is received, the City says it will process it and provide written confirmation of acceptance, and that within 45 days a letter or email will be sent with the final decision as to whether the City is liable for damages. The page says a claim shall be presented no later than six months after the accrual of the cause of action. As of November 9, 2026, the City did not publish a self-serve downloadable claim-form URL on that page, so request the current form from the Clerk. For status on an already-filed claim, the City directs you to email cityclerksgroup@cityofbrea.gov. The City Clerk’s Office is at 1 Civic Center Circle, Brea, CA 92821.
