Rancho Mirage Personal Injury Lawyer

Rancho Mirage calls itself the “Playground of the Presidents.” Incorporated in 1973, it had 16,999 residents in the 2020 Census, though its seasonal population can exceed 20,000. Streets here carry the names of the stars who lived nearby: Bob Hope Drive, Frank Sinatra Drive, Gerald Ford Drive and Dinah Shore Drive.

Tafreshi Law Group serves Rancho Mirage residents and visitors from our Riverside office. We don’t have a Coachella Valley office; we work with clients by phone, text and video. Lea esta página en español.

Restaurant Row, the Casino and Bob Hope Drive

  • Highway 111 between Bob Hope Drive and Frank Sinatra Drive is known as “Restaurant Row,” with more than thirty places to eat. Evening traffic, valet lanes and diners walking to their cars all share the road.
  • The Agua Caliente Casino sits at Bob Hope Drive and Ramon Road off Interstate 10, and The River shopping center is across Bob Hope Drive from a large resort in the center of the city.
  • A section of Highway 111 here follows the route of an ancient Native American trade route along the foothills of the Santa Rosa Mountains.

Late-night traffic near restaurants and the casino can include impaired drivers. If a drunk driver hit you, see our drunk driver page. Note that a crash or fall on tribal land can raise different rules; tell us exactly where it happened.
