Personal injury lawyers serving Dublin
Dublin sits where I-580 and I-680 cross — the Tri-Valley's busiest ground. If a crash there has turned your life upside down, the case review is free and there is no fee unless we win.
Dublin is the Tri-Valley's crossroads in the most literal sense: the city grew up around the junction of I-580 and I-680, and everything moving between the East Bay, the Central Valley, and the San Ramon Valley passes through it. The interchange and the ramps feeding it — plus surface connectors like Dublin Boulevard, San Ramon Road, and Dougherty Road that absorb freeway traffic when things back up — account for a large share of the crashes that bring Dublin families to our door.
The city has also been one of the fastest-changing places in the East Bay. East Dublin's growth along Tassajara Road and Fallon Road has filled once-quiet roads with construction traffic, new signals, and new residents still learning them, while two BART stations — Dublin/Pleasanton and West Dublin/Pleasanton — put steady foot traffic on and around the busiest corridors at commute hours.
One detail that surprises people: Dublin sits in Alameda County, not Contra Costa, even though it borders San Ramon. That changes where a lawsuit would be filed, and it is the kind of detail we handle so you do not have to. Oguz Injury Lawyers LLP serves Dublin from Walnut Creek, straight down I-680. The case review is free, and you pay nothing unless we win.
Local information
Courts
Alameda County Superior Court
Because Dublin is in Alameda County, injury lawsuits arising here are filed with the Alameda County Superior Court, which hears cases at courthouses around the county, including in the eastern part of the county and in Oakland. Where a specific case is heard depends on the court's current assignments — something we confirm at filing. Most claims, though, settle before any courthouse is involved.

Getting your accident report
Crashes on Dublin's city streets — Dublin Boulevard, Tassajara Road, San Ramon Road, Dougherty Road — are documented by Dublin Police Services, which provides law enforcement for the city, and collision reports can be requested there once finalized. Crashes on I-580 or I-680, including the interchange and its ramps, are California Highway Patrol territory, so those reports come from the CHP. If you are not sure which agency responded to yours, we will find out and request the report for you as part of a free case review.
How we can help in Dublin
Frequently asked questions
My crash was on the ramp between I-580 and I-680. Who handles that?
The California Highway Patrol — the freeways and their connector ramps are CHP jurisdiction, while Dublin Police Services covers the city's surface streets. Interchange crashes also tend to involve disputed lane-change and merging facts, which makes the CHP report and any available camera or vehicle data especially important to obtain early.
I live in Dublin but the other driver is from Contra Costa County. Where would my case be filed?
Venue usually follows where the injury happened or where the defendant resides, so a crash in Dublin typically belongs in the Alameda County Superior Court. It is a procedural detail with real consequences, and it is our job to get it right — not yours. And in most cases, the claim settles with the insurer before filing becomes necessary.
How long do I have to bring a claim?
California's general personal injury deadline is two years from the date of injury, under Code of Civil Procedure section 335.1. Claims that must first be presented to a public entity — involving a government vehicle, a public bus, or public property — generally require a written claim within six months. When in doubt, ask early; the consultation is free.
A big rig on I-580 caused my crash. Is that a different kind of case?
Practically, yes. I-580 through Dublin carries constant commercial truck traffic, and truck cases bring commercial insurers, potential employer liability, and time-sensitive evidence like driver logs and onboard data. The sooner someone acts to preserve that evidence, the stronger the case — this is one situation where waiting genuinely costs you.
What do you charge?
Nothing up front, and nothing at all unless we win. We work on a contingency fee taken from the recovery we obtain for you. The initial case review is free, whichever way it comes out.
