About the author →
Orange County is where Ron Chini practices — his office sits at 2102 Business Center Drive in Irvine, and he has worked in OC's courts since 2009. If a negligent driver or a careless property owner hurt you anywhere in the county, here's where your case would be filed, where a serious injury gets treated, and how Ron can help.
Orange County civil courthouse — where PI lawsuits are filed
Where your case is heard
Orange County keeps its ordinary civil docket — including most personal injury lawsuits — at one courthouse: the Central Justice Center in Santa Ana. That's distinct from the county's separate Civil Complex Center, which is reserved for complex or mass litigation (large class actions, multi-party construction defect cases, and similar matters) rather than a standard car accident or slip-and-fall claim. For the overwhelming majority of injury cases, the Central Justice Center is where a lawsuit would be filed if a fair settlement can't be reached first.
Orange County's only Level I trauma center
For a serious injury, where you're treated matters. UCI Medical Center (UCI Health – Orange), at 101 The City Drive South in Orange, is Orange County's only Level I adult trauma center — and it's also verified as a Level II pediatric trauma center. It treats close to half of all trauma patients countywide. Medical records from a Level I trauma admission — imaging, surgical notes, the trauma team's documentation of how the injury happened — often become some of the most important evidence in a serious personal injury claim.

You pay no fee unless we win. Personal injury is a new part of Ron's practice, built on 17 years as a Southern California attorney and a genuinely unusual strength: he has defended DUI cases since 2009, which matters directly when the driver who hurt you was impaired.
