How the firm helps in Stanton
Most Stanton injury claims start on a few surface streets.
Stanton’s traffic runs on a few surface streets: Beach Boulevard and Katella, Western, Magnolia, and Cerritos Avenues. Stanton Central Park, Hollenbeck Park, and the Civic Center on Katella Avenue are among the places residents gather. The claims that follow are collisions on those streets, pedestrians struck at crossings, falls at stores and apartment communities, and dog bites.
Kyle J. Scott, admitted to the State Bar of California in 1991, founded Kyle Scott Law in 2003. The firm has no Stanton office; it represents Stanton clients from its office in Tustin, and also people hurt in nearby Garden Grove, Anaheim, and Westminster. Every claim starts with a free, confidential review of what happened, who controlled the road or property, which insurance applies, and which deadlines are already running.
Beach, Katella, Western, Magnolia, and Cerritos
Intersection and pedestrian collisions turn on the report, signal timing, witnesses, and business video, which the firm requests early. Hollenbeck Park is on Cerritos Avenue, and the firm confirms who owns and controls a given street before anything else.
Sheriff’s deputies provide Stanton’s police services
The Orange County Sheriff’s Department provides Stanton’s police services, and Stanton Police Services is at 11100 Cedar Street. A collision report comes from the Sheriff’s Department, not from a city police department.
Stanton Central Park, the Civic Center, and schools
The city runs parks including Stanton Central Park, and the Civic Center is on Katella Avenue. A claim for a fall on public property generally must be presented within six months (Government Code § 911.2). The Garden Grove Unified and Magnolia school districts each serve part of Stanton.
Dog bites
California holds a dog’s owner responsible for bite injuries suffered in a public place or by someone lawfully on private property, even if the dog had never bitten anyone before (Civil Code § 3342). The City of Westminster provides Stanton’s animal care and shelter services, and Westminster Animal Control, which serves Westminster and Stanton, investigates bites.

Common questions
Questions from Stanton clients.
Where is a Stanton injury case filed?
Civil cases are heard at the Central Justice Center in Santa Ana. Stanton’s criminal and traffic cases go to the West Justice Center in Westminster, including a charge against the other driver, but the injury claim is a separate civil case.
How do I get a Stanton crash report?
The Orange County Sheriff’s Department provides Stanton’s police services. The department asks people to call its Records unit first to confirm the report is available, then to request it; reports take time to finalize, so request early.
Who takes dog bite reports in Stanton?
Westminster provides Stanton’s animal services; Westminster Animal Control investigates bites. Under Civil Code section 3342, a dog’s owner is liable for bite injuries suffered in a public place or while lawfully on private property, even if the dog never bit anyone before.
How long do I have to bring a claim?
Generally two years from the injury to file a lawsuit (Code of Civil Procedure section 335.1). If a public entity such as a city or school district may be responsible, a government claim is generally due within six months (Government Code section 911.2).
