Wilshire Law Firm reviews a wide range of injury claims for people in Riverside and surrounding Inland Empire communities. These commonly include car, truck, motorcycle, and rideshare (Uber/Lyft) accidents; pedestrian and bicycle collisions; premises liability and product liability claims; and catastrophic injury and wrongful death matters. A legal professional can review the details of your case for free.
Many serious Riverside accidents trace back to preventable negligence on the region's busy roadways. Common causes we see include chain-reaction crashes on State Route 91 from stop-and-go congestion, truck collisions tied to Inland Empire warehouse and distribution routes, motorcycle incidents on interchanges with changing visibility, and injuries from defective products or unsafe property conditions in public spaces. Identifying who was at fault is central to your claim, and our attorneys handle that investigation for you.
Protect your health and your claim by documenting everything you can. Seek medical attention and keep records of your follow-up care; take photos and video of vehicles, hazards, and the surrounding area; gather witness contact information and any incident reports; and collect the insurance details for all parties involved. Then speak with a legal professional before giving a recorded statement to any insurer.
In most California personal injury cases you generally have two years from the date of the injury to file a lawsuit (California Code of Civil Procedure §335.1). Claims involving a public entity are subject to much shorter notice requirements — often a written claim within six months of the incident. Because missing a deadline can end your case, it is best to speak with a legal professional early. Cases in this area are typically handled in Riverside County Superior Court. You can learn more about our work in the area on our Riverside location page.

How Do I Know If I Have a Personal Injury Claim in Riverside?
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 pain and suffering. Proof includes police or incident reports, photos, and witness statements. California's statute of limitations applies, so contact Wilshire Law Firm for a free case review to learn where your claim stands.

Riverside 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. Riverside sits at the center of the Inland Empire's logistics and warehousing industry, and congestion on the SR-91 and I-215 contributes to serious collisions. Claims may involve passenger vehicles, commercial trucks, or the companies that operate them.
Personal injury lawsuits arising in Riverside are generally filed in the Riverside County Superior Court. Freeway collisions frequently involve California Highway Patrol reports as part of the evidence.
In most California cases you have two years from the date of injury to file. That window can be shorter for claims against government entities and can shift under certain exceptions, so verify your deadline without delay.
If the at-fault driver lacks adequate insurance, your own uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage may help cover your losses, subject to your policy and California law. Checking your coverage early clarifies your options.
