Orange County is a patchwork. Dozens of cities run their own police departments, others contract with the Sheriff, and the CHP covers every freeway and toll road from Seal Beach to San Clemente. After a crash, the first job is working out which of them has your report. Waypoints OC puts the key places on one map and explains each step in plain English.
What we cover
We write about car crashes anywhere in Orange County. The map marks two CHP Area offices, three trauma centers and the Central Justice Center in Santa Ana. The home page also covers who has your crash report and California’s deadlines and fault rule.
How we check our work
Waypoints OC is the author and publisher. Rules come from the California codes; addresses and services come from the CHP, the hospitals, the Orange County Health Care Agency and the Superior Court. Map data comes from OpenStreetMap. Our editorial policy explains the details.
The free case review
The home page has one short form: when the crash happened, whether another driver caused it, whether you are hurt and whether you already signed with a lawyer. If it fits, you add a name and phone number.
We pass your request to our partner law firm. Our partner’s automated assistant calls, confirms a few details and can connect you with the intake team. The review is free, you do not have to hire an attorney, and our partner decides whether it can help. Waypoints OC is not a law firm and does not give legal advice.
