High-Risk Roads & Intersections

Where Accidents Happen Most in Long Beach

These are the roads and intersections where Gonzales Law Offices most frequently handles accident cases for Long Beach clients. We know these roads — and how to build cases around them.

I-710 (Long Beach Freeway) — Full Corridor
The I-710 is one of the most dangerous freeways in California. It connects the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach and carries an extraordinary volume of commercial freight trucks. The I-405 interchange at the top is among the most collision-prone junctions in the state.
HIGH RISK
I-405 (San Diego Freeway) — Long Beach Section
I-405 through Long Beach carries massive commuter traffic. The interchanges at I-710, Lakewood Blvd, and Bellflower Blvd generate significant accident volumes daily.
HIGH RISK
SR-91 (Artesia Freeway) — East Long Beach
SR-91 connects Long Beach to Riverside County. The Lakewood Blvd and Long Beach Blvd interchange areas are frequent collision zones during commute hours.
HIGH RISK
Lakewood Blvd — SR-91 to PCH
Lakewood Blvd is one of Long Beach's primary north-south arterials. Heavy commercial traffic, multiple signalized intersections, and bus stops create constant collision conditions throughout the 8-mile corridor.
HIGH RISK
Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) — Long Beach Coastal
PCH along Long Beach has heavy traffic near the beach communities. Pedestrian crossings, bicycle conflicts, and tourist traffic create dangerous conditions especially in summer.
HIGH RISK
Atlantic Ave — downtown to north LB
Atlantic Ave carries heavy bus and commercial traffic through central Long Beach. Dense pedestrian activity, multiple bus stops, and narrow lanes create constant collision risks.
MODERATE RISK

⚠ Evidence Is Disappearing Right Now

What Happens to Your Case If You Wait

Insurance companies are already building their defense. Every hour you delay, critical evidence vanishes — and your compensation shrinks. Here's the timeline that works against you.

Critical
24–48 HRS
Security Camera Footage Deleted
Traffic cameras, business cameras, and dashcam footage that could prove the other driver's fault are often overwritten within 48 hours. Once deleted, it's gone forever.
Urgent
3–7 DAYS
Insurance Adjuster Contacts You
The at-fault driver's insurer will call you within days to get a recorded statement. Anything you say can be used to reduce your payout. Do NOT speak to them without an attorney.
Danger
30 DAYS
Lowball Offer Expires
Insurers make early low offers with expiration pressure. They know unrepresented victims often accept. Once you accept, you waive all future rights — even if your injuries worsen.
Severe
90+ DAYS
Settlement Value Drops 67%
Studies show victims who wait 90+ days to hire an attorney recover significantly less. The longer you wait, the weaker your case becomes. Call today — it costs nothing.

Your Path to Compensation

How Your Long Beach Case Works

From the moment you call to the day you receive your check — here's exactly what Gonzales Law Offices does for you.

1
Free 24/7 Case Evaluation
Call or text any time — day or night. Mark Gonzales or a senior member of his team will assess your case within minutes, answer your questions honestly, and tell you exactly what your case may be worth. No pressure, no obligation, no cost.
2
Immediate Investigation
We act fast. Within 24–48 hours we dispatch investigators to the scene, request the police report, preserve security camera footage (which gets deleted fast), obtain the at-fault driver's insurance information, and document all evidence. Speed is critical.
3
Medical Care Coordination
We connect you with top orthopedic surgeons, neurologists, pain management specialists, and physical therapists in the Los Angeles County area — with zero upfront cost to you. Your treatment is documented precisely to maximize your claim value.
4
Aggressive Negotiation
We handle every communication with the insurance company. Mark Gonzales was a former insurance defense attorney — he knows every lowball tactic they use and how to counter them. We reject inadequate offers and demand full compensation.
5
Litigation If Necessary
If the insurer refuses to pay a fair amount, we file suit and take your case to trial. Unlike "settlement mills," we are fully prepared to litigate — and insurance companies pay more when they know we mean it. Most cases settle; we're ready when they don't.
6
You Get Paid — We Take Our Fee
When we win, you receive your settlement check. Our fee comes only from the recovery — typically 33–40% of the settlement. You never pay out of pocket for anything, ever. We advance all costs: investigation, experts, filing fees, medical records.

The most dangerous roads in Long Beach include: the I-710 port corridor, the I-710/I-405 interchange, Atlantic Ave through downtown, Lakewood Blvd commercial strip, PCH along the waterfront, and SR-91 in east Long Beach. The I-710 is consistently one of California's most dangerous freeways due to massive commercial truck volumes from the port.
California's statute of limitations for personal injury is 2 years from the date of accident. If a government vehicle was involved (Long Beach Transit bus, city vehicle), you have only 6 months. Don't wait.
Case value depends on: severity of injuries, medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, pain and suffering, and fault. Long Beach cases often involve commercial trucking companies with large insurance policies. Cases range from $50,000 to over $2 million. Call for a free evaluation.
Yes — through your own Uninsured Motorist (UM) coverage. California requires all auto policies to include UM coverage unless waived in writing. We've recovered hundreds of thousands for Long Beach clients through UM claims.
Yes. California uses pure comparative negligence — even if you were 30%% at fault, you can recover 70%% of your damages. We push back aggressively against inflated fault claims by insurers.
We regularly litigate against State Farm, Allstate, Farmers, GEICO, Mercury, AAA, Progressive, Nationwide, USAA, Esurance, and 21st Century Insurance as well as major commercial trucking insurers serving the port. Mark Gonzales was previously an insurance defense attorney.

Your Attorney

Mark A. Gonzales, Esq.

Mark Gonzales (CA State Bar #249340) is the founding attorney of Gonzales Law Offices. He graduated from the University of La Verne College of Law and began his career as an insurance defense attorney — representing insurance companies and learning every tactic they use to deny and minimize claims.

In 2013, he switched sides — choosing to fight for injured victims instead of insurance companies. That insider knowledge has given Gonzales Law Offices an unfair advantage in negotiations and litigation. He knows exactly when an insurance company's "final offer" isn't actually final.

Mark is a member of the State Bar of California, Consumer Attorneys of California (CAOC), Consumer Attorneys of Los Angeles (CAALA), and the San Bernardino County Bar Association. He holds an Avvo Superb 10.0 rating and has been recognized as a Super Lawyers Rising Star.

He speaks Spanish fluently, personally handles all complex negotiations, and makes himself available to clients directly — not through intermediaries.
