How Long Do I Have to File a Personal Injury Claim in California?
In California, you generally have two years from the date of your injury to file a personal injury claim. This means if you miss the deadline, you’re forfeiting your right to recover any compensation. There are exceptions, of course, but you still have to act fast. Some of those exceptions give you a short few months to file a claim. Our team can assess your circumstances and make sure all deadlines are met.
What Should I Do Immediately After an Accident?
Immediately after an accident, you should seek medical attention right away. Then, document everything if you are able to. Take photos, gather witness contact information, and report the incident to the police and to your insurance provider. Avoid speaking to insurance adjusters before consulting a San Bernardino personal injury attorney.
Can I Still Be Compensated if I Was Partially at Fault for the Accident?
Yes, you can still be compensated if you were partially at fault for the accident. California follows a comparative fault rule, which means you can be assigned a percentage of blame for your part in your injuries. Your compensation is then reduced by the same percentage assigned to you. Our team works to minimize your percentage of responsibility to maximize your compensation.
How Long Does It Take to Settle a Personal Injury Case?
The timeframe to resolve and settle a personal injury case will be different for every claim, depending on how complicated the case is, how bad your injuries are, and how willing the insurance company is to negotiate. Every personal injury claim is unique. Our San Bernardino personal injury legal team can help move your case through the system while protecting your right to full and fair compensation.

Robert R.
Mark helped me recover all my expenses due to my car accident. The insurance company tried to slow the process and doubted that I was even injured. Mark fought for me and gave me peace of mind. I felt like I had an army on my side since his staff worked tirelessly for me. They got the insurance company off my back and helped me get back on my feet faster than I expected.
April F.
Mark did a fantastic job for me when I slipped in a restaurant. I owner had the nerve to claim it was my heels, when clearly the floor was damaged and caused me to fall. He tried to make himself look like the victim of a scam. Mark put an end to that real fast. He took control of everything for me. He helped me get my medical costs paid as well as compensation for the lost time at work.
