Car Accident Lawyer Santa Ana, CA

If you have been injured in a car accident in Santa Ana, you need an attorney who knows this city, its roads, and how to fight insurance companies for the compensation you deserve. Sky Law Group is headquartered just minutes away in Orange, CA. We know Santa Ana’s roads, its courts, and how to fight for the compensation our clients deserve.

Santa Ana is the county seat of Orange County — and one of its most densely populated and heavily trafficked cities. With over 300,000 residents packed into just 27 square miles, narrow streets, aging infrastructure, and some of the highest traffic volumes in the county, car accidents in Santa Ana are a daily reality.

High-Risk Roads and Intersections in Santa Ana

Santa Ana’s combination of dense residential neighborhoods, major freeways, and commercial corridors creates some of the most dangerous driving conditions in Orange County:

• Bristol Street — one of the most dangerous roads in all of Orange County, with a high volume of pedestrian accidents, red-light running, and broadside collisions
• 17th Street — a major east-west corridor that cuts through residential and commercial zones with frequent collision points
• I-5 through Santa Ana — the Santa Ana Freeway carries massive traffic volumes through the city, with frequent rear-end crashes and lane-change accidents
• SR-55 (Costa Mesa Freeway) — the interchange with I-5 in Santa Ana is one of the busiest and most accident-prone in the county
• First Street and Main Street — the downtown Santa Ana corridor sees pedestrian, bicycle, and vehicle conflicts, especially during evening hours
• McFadden Avenue and Harbor Boulevard — a high-crash intersection with limited visibility and heavy cross-traffic

Frequently Asked Questions — Santa Ana Car Accidents
