Rohnert Park sits along Highway 101 between Santa Rosa and Petaluma, serving as a commercial and residential hub for the central Sonoma County corridor. In 2023 (the most recent year for which data is currently available), the Office of Traffic Safety recorded 95 people killed or injured in Rohnert Park traffic crashes. Ten of those victims were in motorcycle crashes, ranking the city 17th of 93 comparable cities in motorcycle crash frequency. Attorney Michael Rehm represents accident victims throughout Rohnert Park and Sonoma County on a contingency fee basis.

Legal Standard

Personal injury claims in Rohnert Park are governed by the same California negligence law that applies throughout the state. Civil Code § 1714 imposes on every person a duty to use ordinary care in managing their property or conduct to avoid injury to others. The California Supreme Court set out the factors courts weigh in determining whether a duty existed and was breached in Rowland v. Christian (1968) 69 Cal.2d 108, including the foreseeability of harm, the connection between the defendant's conduct and the plaintiff's injury, and the moral blame attached to the defendant's conduct.

Claims involving property owned or controlled by the City of Rohnert Park, Sonoma County, or any other public entity require a written government tort claim within six months of the date of injury under the Government Claims Act. For claims against private parties, Code of Civil Procedure § 335.1 provides a two-year statute of limitations. Whether a particular deadline applies, has run, or is subject to tolling requires individual analysis.

The Sonoma County Superior Court

Personal injury lawsuits arising from Rohnert Park accidents are filed in the Sonoma County Civil and Family Law Courthouse, 3055 Cleveland Avenue, Santa Rosa, CA 95403. Cases are assigned to one judge for all purposes at filing. The court disposes of approximately 71 percent of unlimited civil cases within twelve months of filing — a faster pace than most comparable California counties.
