Personal injury lawyers serving Livermore
Altamont commuters, Vasco Road, and two-lane wine-country roads give Livermore a distinct mix of crashes. Start with a free case review — no fee unless we win.
Livermore is where the Bay Area's commute meets the Central Valley's, and I-580 across the north side of the city carries the collision. Every weekday, drivers who started their morning over the Altamont Pass merge with Tri-Valley traffic at the Vasco Road, First Street, and Livermore Avenue interchanges — long trips, high speeds, and heavy truck volumes, which is a recipe for the serious rear-end and multi-vehicle crashes we regularly see from this corridor. Vasco Road itself, running north toward Brentwood, is a demanding two-lane commuter route that locals treat with respect for good reason.
The rest of Livermore's risk looks nothing like a freeway. South and east of downtown, the wine-country roads — Tesla Road and the routes threading between vineyards — are narrow, unlit at night, and shared by tasting-room visitors, farm equipment, and cyclists on weekend rides. Downtown, First Street's revival means far more people on foot around bars and restaurants in the evening than the street carried a decade ago.

Livermore is in Alameda County, so injury lawsuits arising here are filed with the Alameda County Superior Court, which hears cases at courthouses around the county, including in the eastern county area and in Oakland.

Getting your accident report
Crashes on Livermore's city streets — First Street, Livermore Avenue, East Avenue, Holmes Street — are documented by the Livermore Police Department, and you can request the collision report from the department once it is finalized. Crashes on I-580, and on unincorporated roads outside city limits such as the Altamont Pass area and stretches of Vasco Road, are typically investigated by the California Highway Patrol. If you are unsure which agency wrote your report, we will determine that and request it for you as part of a free case review.
How we can help in Livermore
Frequently asked questions
My crash was on Vasco Road north of town. Who investigated it?
If it happened outside Livermore city limits on the unincorporated stretch, the California Highway Patrol typically handled it; inside the city, it is the Livermore Police Department. The line is invisible from the road, and it determines where your collision report lives. Identifying the right agency and requesting the report is one of the first things we do in a free case review.
A truck coming off the Altamont caused my crash on I-580. What should I do differently?
Move faster than you would in an ordinary car case. Commercial truck crashes involve trucking-company insurers, potential employer liability, and evidence — driver logs, onboard electronic data, maintenance records — that can be lost or overwritten unless someone acts to preserve it. The legal deadline may be two years, but the evidence rarely waits that long.
I was injured at a winery or tasting room. Is that a case?
It can be, as a premises liability matter — property owners, including wineries, owe visitors a duty to keep their premises reasonably safe and to warn of hazards they know about. Whether a particular fall or injury supports a claim depends heavily on the specific facts, and that is a judgment we can give you honestly, for free, before you decide anything.
What deadlines apply to my Livermore injury claim?
California generally allows two years from the date of injury under Code of Civil Procedure section 335.1. Claims involving public entities — a government vehicle, or a dangerous condition of public property — generally require a written claim within six months. And cyclists and motorcyclists should know California's pure comparative negligence rule: partial fault reduces a recovery but never automatically bars it.
How much will a lawyer cost me?
With us, nothing unless we win. We work on contingency: no upfront payment, and our fee comes out of the recovery we obtain for you. The initial case review is free, so the price of knowing where you stand is a phone call.
