Understanding Your Fontana Personal Injury Case
Explore essential resources on your rights, your options, and what to expect — everything you need to navigate the legal process, all in one place.
Wilshire Law Firm is an award-winning, nationally recognized team that has recovered billions for injured clients across California.
Protect your health and your claim by taking a few key steps: seek medical attention immediately, even if you feel fine; report the incident and get a copy of any police or incident report; photograph the scene, vehicles, and injuries; gather names and contact information for any witnesses; and speak with a legal professional before giving a recorded statement to an insurer. These records help preserve the facts of what happened in and around San Bernardino County.
Wilshire Law Firm handles a wide range of personal injury matters for Fontana and San Bernardino County residents. These commonly include car, truck, and motorcycle collisions, pedestrian and bicycle accidents, slip-and-fall and other premises liability claims, dog bites, product liability injuries, catastrophic and brain injuries, and wrongful death. If another party's negligence caused your injury, a legal professional can review your options during a free case review.
Injured people in California can generally recover both economic and non-economic damages. These commonly include medical expenses (current and future), lost wages and lost earning capacity, property damage, and pain and suffering. Because every case is unique, a legal professional can review your losses during a free case review.
In most California personal injury cases you generally have two years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit (California Code of Civil Procedure §335.1). Claims against a government entity often have much shorter deadlines — frequently six months. Because missing a deadline can end your case, and exceptions can apply, it's best to speak with a legal professional early.

How Do I Know If I Have a Personal Injury Claim in Fontana?
Three factors determine whether you have a valid personal injury claim — fault, damages, and proof. Fault means another party's negligence caused your injury. Damages are your losses, such as medical bills, lost wages, and property damage. Proof includes police or incident reports, photos, medical records, and witness statements. California's statute of limitations applies, so contact Wilshire Law Firm for a free case review.

Fontana Personal Injury FAQs
Our Most Frequently Asked Questions
We've answered the most common ones below. If yours isn't here, call us — we're available 24/7.
They can. Fontana's warehousing, distribution, and manufacturing sectors bring heavy truck traffic to the I-10 and I-15, and collisions or on-site incidents involving negligence may support a claim. Depending on the facts, a case may involve a driver, a company, or a property owner.
Personal injury cases arising in Fontana are generally filed in the San Bernardino County Superior Court. Freight-related crashes often require records from the trucking company as part of the investigation.
California generally allows two years from the date of the injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. Deadlines can be shorter for claims against government entities and can change under certain exceptions, so verify yours promptly.
Yes. California law allows a spouse, domestic partner, children, or certain other heirs to bring a wrongful death claim when a loved one is killed by another's negligence, such as in a freight or highway collision. These claims can seek compensation for the family's losses, and time limits apply. You can learn more about how we serve the area on our Fontana location page.
