Personal injury claims we handle for San Clemente clients

From our Tustin office we help people hurt in car, truck, motorcycle, pedestrian, e-bike, scooter, bicycle, rideshare, bus, train, and premises accidents across California, including San Clemente. We also handle government claims when a city, the County, OCTA, Metrolink, or Caltrans may be involved. We speak Spanish and Vietnamese.

El Camino Real, the pier area, and two Metrolink stations

El Camino Real, Avenida Pico, Avenida Del Mar, and Avenida Vista Hermosa carry coastal and local traffic. City streets and City property are usually City claims. State highway segments, including much of El Camino Real and Pacific Coast Highway, often belong to Caltrans. The I-5 generally belongs to Caltrans as well. OCTA provides bus service. Metrolink lists a San Clemente station at 1850 Avenida Estacion, San Clemente, CA 92672, and a San Clemente Pier station at 615 Avenida Victoria, San Clemente, CA 92672. Rail claims are usually not City of San Clemente claims. See our Metrolink accidents page. According to the California Office of Traffic Safety 2022 rankings, San Clemente (Group C) ranked 3 of 104 cities for bicyclists killed or injured and 1 of 104 for bicyclists under age 15 killed or injured. An OTS ranking of 1 is the highest collision rate in that group.
