Experienced Legal Support in a Close-Knit Community
With its quiet streets, scenic hills, and family-oriented neighborhoods, Moraga might not seem like a place where serious accidents occur. But even in a smaller town like this, car crashes, cycling injuries, and slip-and-fall accidents are all too common, especially on winding roads like Moraga Road and St. Mary’s Road. If you’ve been injured here, it helps to work with a local legal advocate who understands the area’s layout and legal landscape. At Law Office of Daniel Horowitz, we offer dedicated personal injury representation backed by decades of experience in Contra Costa County.
Speak with a Moraga personal injury lawyer who understands the local roads, courts, and challenges you may face. Call us at (925) 291-5388 or send us a message online.

Our office is based just minutes from Moraga, and we’ve worked with clients throughout the Lamorinda area.

Every case we take receives personalized attention, legal strategy grounded in California law, and a practical understanding of how local roads, insurance companies, and court systems function. We’re not just familiar with the legal process. We’re familiar with the community.

Handling Claims Involving Public Property or Town Liability
If your injury involves a public sidewalk, town-maintained road, or government vehicle, different rules apply. Claims against government entities like the Town of Moraga require fast action, with deadlines as short as six months. Whether you tripped on a damaged walkway or were hit by a town-operated service vehicle, we can help you navigate the government claims process and protect your right to compensation.
Getting the Medical Documentation You Need After an Injury
We understand that seeking medical treatment is one of the first and most important steps after an injury. Whether you received care at a hospital, urgent care center, or local clinic, timely treatment not only supports your recovery but also strengthens your personal injury claim. Clear medical records help establish the extent of your injuries and connect them to the incident.
Our team works closely with clients to gather and organize the documentation needed to support their case. This includes medical reports, billing statements, and treatment summaries. We make sure your care is accurately reflected throughout the legal process so your claim is backed by strong, consistent evidence.

Time Limits for Filing a Personal Injury Claim in Moraga
Like the rest of California, Moraga is subject to strict legal deadlines for filing personal injury claims. In most cases, you have two years from the date of the injury. If your claim involves a government agency, such as a public sidewalk hazard or a town vehicle, you may need to act within six months. The sooner we begin, the more opportunity we have to gather evidence, contact witnesses, and build a strong case on your behalf.
Reach out online or call us at (925) 291-5388 to discuss your situation and avoid missing critical deadlines. A brief conversation can help you understand your rights and what to do next.
“Despite his kindness, I have never once doubted his ability to provide me with THE BEST representation in court.”
He is approachable but serious. Mr. Horowitz is the perfect balance of what someone wants in a lawyer. Not only is he approachable enough to gain and value your trust, but he's a bulldog in the courtroom. Despite his kindness, I have never once doubted his ability to provide me with THE BEST representation in court. I'm so thankful to have found a lawyer capable of such a delicate balancing act.

“The Best Attorney I Could Have Asked For”
Dan Horowitz was the best attorney I could have asked for during a difficult time in my career. From the moment I met him, I felt believed, respected, and safe. He and his team were endlessly responsive and empathetic to me and my family. He fought for my case day and night, always keeping my best interests at the forefront of his mind. As I learned from Dan, it is never a good time in one’s life to need legal representation - but if you need it, Dan is your person, your advocate, and your best friend. We are forever grateful for his tireless commitment to justice for the people.

“Tough, humble, has integrity - simply THE best.”
Tough, humble, has integrity - simply THE best. With Dan it is not so much about the money but about doing what is right. A very rare breed. He has honesty and integrity and the jurys see it. If he doesn't believe in the case or the client he won't waste your time or his. But you better listen to him!...Believe an trust in him. I did and I am totally indebted to him. He is "The best of the best." Thank you Dan for all you have done and continue to do. Carole~ Arbuckle v. Board of Chiropractic Examiners
