How to use this evidence guide
Official local record brief
City of San Diego Open Data Portal publishes police collision reports and data dictionary. Check its scope and limits before applying it to the incident records.
City of San Diego Open Data Portal
The dataset describes San Diego Police Department collision reports, including report ID, date and time, block-level location, primary collision factor, injuries, deaths, and hit-and-run level.
When to use it
Use the dataset to confirm field definitions, reporting boundaries, update dates, and city-street context before citing an aggregate or trend.
Details used to locate the record
Limit: The portal says property-damage-only events may be absent and CHP handles freeway collisions. A row is not a finding of civil fault or proof of a specific claim.
City of San Diego Police Department
The department identifies eligible requesters, the ordinary processing window, online, mail, and in-person access routes, and the details needed to request an SDPD traffic-collision report.
When to use it
Use this process after confirming SDPD took the report and the requester falls within an authorized category.
Details used to locate the record
Limit: The instructions apply to SDPD records and do not establish that SDPD investigated a freeway, trolley, bicycle-only, private-property, or other incident handled by another custodian.
Local anchors and boundaries
Roadway reference
Use the direction, lane, crossing, time, and observed conditions to identify reports, cameras, and witnesses connected with I-5.
Boundary: I-5 and San Diego Zoo are separate area references. Confirm the actual incident address and jurisdiction before selecting a report agency.
Provider reference
If the person received care at UC San Diego Medical Center, compare its triage, imaging, referrals, restrictions, and billing with the incident chronology.
Boundary: Naming UC San Diego Medical Center does not confirm that a person received care there or that its records prove causation.
Official path
Confirm the entity, legal party names, and published process before using San Diego Superior Court for a filing or venue question.
Boundary: San Diego Superior Court is a research reference and does not establish venue, jurisdiction, or an individual deadline.
Local mobility
Identify the actual operator, station or vehicle before requesting agency records that may clarify the incident timeline.
Boundary: San Diego MTS (Trolley & Bus) may identify an agency or movement record, but confirm the operator, time window, and record number before using it to describe this incident.
Visual evidence flow
For this page, start at I-5, compare the chronology tied to UC San Diego Medical Center, and confirm whether City of San Diego Open Data Portal controls police collision reports and data dictionary; the final step checks Raffi Naljian's published license without assigning representation.

Raffi Naljian
Check Raffi Naljian's published license and practice information; this path does not assign an attorney.
Decision path
Record the actual address, direction, time and conditions. Use I-5 or San Diego Zoo only if the incident record identifies that location, then confirm who holds the report or video.
Order symptoms, triage, diagnosis, imaging, referrals, and restrictions by date without assuming one note resolves causation.
Build one chronology that separates scene proof, medical proof, insurance positions, and unresolved questions; track the San Diego traffic collisions open dataset request to City of San Diego Open Data Portal as requested, received, disputed, or still awaiting primary-source confirmation.
Verify parties, public-entity involvement, venue, and dates through an official source or qualified attorney before relying on a general deadline.
Investigating agency and camera custodian
Record the actual approach, direction, lane, crossing, time, and lighting. Confirm whether I-5 or San Diego Zoo appears in the incident records. If care began at UC San Diego Medical Center, compare its intake time with dispatch and video timestamps.
Next request: For this whiplash injuries review, obtain the report number and preserve video, dispatch, photographs, and movement data before routine deletion cycles.
Medical provider and records department
For care attributed to UC San Diego Medical Center, separate triage, diagnosis, imaging, referrals, restrictions, billing, and symptom changes. The UC San Diego Medical Center chart does not prove causation by itself; it shows which dates and changes still need qualified review.
Next request: Request records from the provider that actually treated the person. If that was UC San Diego Medical Center, keep its chart together with a dated list of missing, corrected, or later-added records.
Court, city, county, or public entity
For a filing or public-entity question linked to San Diego Superior Court, first identify who controlled the scene or key record. Confirm the official path associated with San Diego Superior Court before assuming the ordinary filing period resolves a possible public-claim notice.
Next request: Identify the potential defendant, then use the published court or agency path associated with San Diego Superior Court before waiting.
Whiplash Injuries specialist record holder
For whiplash injuries in San Diego, the focused review should include scene photographs, collision report, witness contacts, vehicle damage, insurance communications, first medical notes, referrals, bills, and work restrictions. Compare that file with the actual treatment chronology and any unresolved venue question; the central unresolved issue is whether the physical record, witness sequence, medical chronology, and available coverage support the same account of what happened.
Next request: Build one chronology that separates scene proof, medical proof, insurance positions, and unresolved questions.
