FREQUENTLY ASKED
Victorville Personal Injury FAQ
The 15 questions people actually search after a crash.
How long do I have to file a personal injury lawsuit in California?
Generally two years from the date of the injury (Code Civ. Proc. § 335.1). If your claim is against a public entity — a city, the county, a transit agency or a school district — you must present a government claim within six months. That shorter deadline is the one people miss.
Is California a no-fault state for car accidents?
No. California is an at-fault state with pure comparative negligence, so the driver who caused the crash pays — and your recovery is reduced by whatever percentage of fault is assigned to you.
Can I still recover if the accident was partly my fault?
Yes. California has no cutoff. Even at 90% at fault you recover 10% of your damages.
How much is my Victorville car accident case worth?
It depends on the severity and permanence of the injury, your treatment record, how clear fault is, and how much insurance coverage is available. Any lawyer who quotes a number before reading the file is guessing.
What should I do right after a car accident in Victorville?
Get medical care the same day, get the police or CHP report number, file your SR-1 with the DMV within 10 days, and do not give the other driver’s insurer a recorded statement.
How much do personal injury lawyers charge in California?
Personal injury lawyers work on contingency. You pay nothing up front and no attorney’s fee at all unless there is a recovery.
Do I need a lawyer for a minor car accident?
Not always — but “minor” is usually decided by the adjuster, not by you. Soft-tissue injuries that seem small in week one often need months of treatment. A free consultation costs nothing.
Should I accept the insurance company’s first settlement offer?
Rarely. A first offer typically arrives before the full extent of treatment is known, and accepting it usually closes the claim permanently.
Do I have to give a recorded statement to the other driver’s insurance company?
No. You have no obligation to give a recorded statement to the other side’s insurer.
What happens if the other driver has no insurance in California?
Your own uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage may pay. It also typically covers hit-and-run crashes.
Who pays my medical bills after a car accident in California?
Usually your own health insurance or MedPay first, reimbursed out of the settlement. The at-fault driver’s insurer generally does not pay bills as you go.
How do I get a copy of my traffic collision report?
Through the investigating police agency with the report number, date and location. We pull the report for our clients as part of the case, at no cost.
What can I do if I was hit by a hit-and-run driver in Victorville?
Report it to the police immediately and open a claim under your uninsured motorist coverage — you are not out of options.
Can I file a personal injury claim in California if I’m undocumented?
Yes. Immigration status does not bar you from bringing a personal injury claim or from recovering damages in California.
How long does a personal injury case take?
A straightforward claim can resolve in months. A case that has to be filed and litigated in San Bernardino County Superior Court commonly takes one to two years.
