Menifee Personal Injury Lawyer

Menifee’s Main Roads

• Interstate 215 runs through the middle of the city. The Scott Road interchange was rebuilt in 2020, and a new interchange at Garbani Road is planned.
• Newport Road and Dominegoni Parkway form the main east-west route.
• Scott Road, McCall Boulevard and Ethanac Road carry cross-town traffic, and State Route 74 runs through the north end.
• Murrieta, Bradley, Haun, Antelope and Menifee roads are the main north-south streets.

With retirees in Sun City and young families in new neighborhoods, Menifee streets see older drivers, school traffic and pedestrians. If you were hit while walking, see our pedestrian accident lawyer page.

A Newer Police Department

Menifee ended its contract with the Riverside County Sheriff and launched its own Menifee Police Department in July 2020. For a traffic collision report:

• Call Records at (951) 723-1500 to confirm the report is ready.
• Reports can be bought online through LexisNexis, or requested by mail to Menifee Police Department, Attn: Records Bureau, 29714 Haun Road, Menifee, CA 92586, with a copy of your photo ID.

On I-215, the CHP usually takes the report. The CHP Temecula Area office, 27685 Commerce Center Drive, Temecula, patrols I-215, and the CHP Riverside Area office also patrols parts of I-215 and Romoland. Ask which office handled your crash.

Busy Roads Around Menifee

Busy roads in Menifee include I-215, Newport Road, Scott Road, McCall Boulevard and Menifee Road. I-215 off-ramps carry stopping traffic; Newport Road has left turns into shopping centers; newer neighborhoods along Scott Road mix with faster through traffic. If your crash happened on one of these roads, write down the nearest cross street or exit, and keep any dashcam or doorbell video before it is recorded over.

Hit While Walking or in a Golf Cart in Sun City or Along Newport Road

Sun City and the shopping streets along Newport Road mix pedestrians, golf carts and faster through traffic. Under Vehicle Code section 21950, a driver must yield to a pedestrian in a marked crosswalk or in an unmarked crosswalk at an intersection, and must slow down or take other action as needed to keep that person safe. After a crash:

• The driver’s liability policy is usually the first source of payment.
• If you were in a golf cart, there may be a separate cart or homeowner’s policy, or only the car’s policy, depending on the facts.
• If the driver had no insurance or drove off, your own uninsured motorist coverage may help. For a hit-and-run, report it to Menifee Police or the CHP within 24 hours.
• Shared fault: pedestrians also have a duty of due care under the same statute, and California’s pure comparative fault rule means you can usually still recover if you share some of the blame, minus your share.

Sun City (Menifee)

Sun City is a former census-designated place that became part of the City of Menifee on October 1, 2008, along with Quail Valley. It sits along I-215 just south of Perris and is known as a master-planned community for adults 55 and older, with a public golf course and recreation centers. Local streets are handled by the Menifee Police Department, 29714 Haun Road (non-emergency (951) 677-4964). Sun City ZIPs 92585 and 92586 file both unlimited and limited civil cases at the Menifee Justice Center, 27401 Menifee Center Drive.

Older drivers and pedestrians, golf carts near the community’s streets, and turning traffic at I-215 ramps are worth extra care here. California law lets a party over 70 ask for an earlier trial date in some cases (Code of Civil Procedure 36).

Quail Valley (Menifee)

Quail Valley is a hillside neighborhood in northwest Menifee, near Canyon Lake. It was its own census-designated place until Menifee incorporated on October 1, 2008. Many streets are narrow and hilly, and some are unpaved, so pedestrian and single-vehicle crashes are a real concern. Reports come from the Menifee Police Department on city streets and the CHP on I-215. ZIP 92587 files both unlimited and limited civil cases at the Menifee Justice Center. If a poorly maintained city road played a role, a written claim against the city is generally due within six months (Government Code 911.2).
