FIRST 72 HOURS

What to Do After a Car Accident in Victorville

The first three days shape your entire claim. This is the order that matters.

  1. Get medical care the same dayGaps in treatment are the first thing an adjuster uses to argue you weren’t really hurt.
  2. Get the police or CHP report numberYou’ll need it for every claim that follows. We pull the report for our clients at no cost.
  3. File your SR-1 with the DMV within 10 daysCalifornia requires it after any crash with injury, death, or over $1,000 in property damage — regardless of fault. Missing it can suspend your license.
  4. Do not give the other insurer a recorded statementYou are not required to. It is used to lock in language that reduces your claim later.
  5. You call Beverly Law and we fight for youBefore you call the adjuster, call us. We deal with the insurance company, the police report and the medical records — you focus on getting better. Free consultation, 24/7, English y Español. 1 (877) 427-2752 →

How Long Do You Have to File in California?

Miss the deadline and the claim is gone, no matter how strong it was.

TYPE OF CLAIMDEADLINEWHAT IT MEANS
Most personal injury claims2 yearsFrom the date of the injury. Code Civ. Proc. § 335.1.
Against a city, county, transit agency or any public entity6 monthsA government claim must be presented first — the deadline people miss most. Gov. Code § 911.2.
Medical malpractice1 or 3 yearsOne year from discovery, or three years from injury — whichever comes first. § 340.5.
Wrongful death2 yearsMeasured from the date of death, not the date of the accident.
DMV report (SR-1)10 daysAny injury, death, or over $1,000 property damage. Veh. Code § 16000.

Deadlines can be shorter or longer depending on the facts. Talk to a lawyer before assuming yours has passed.

What California Law Says

CIVIL CODE § 1714 — NEGLIGENCE OFFICIAL TEXT ↗

Everyone is responsible for injuries caused to others by their want of ordinary care or skill. In a Victorville crash, liability may be shared among drivers, employers, or public agencies.

CCP § 335.1 — TWO-YEAR DEADLINE OFFICIAL TEXT ↗

You generally have two years from the date of injury to file a personal injury lawsuit in California. Claims against public entities must be presented within six months.

LI v. YELLOW CAB CO. (1975) — PURE COMPARATIVE NEGLIGENCE CASE LAW ↗

California is not a no-fault state. Juries assign a percentage of fault to everyone involved and reduce damages by that percentage — with no cutoff. Even if you are found 90% at fault, you still recover 10% of your damages. If your damages are $100,000 and you are 30% at fault, you recover $70,000.

This summary is general information, not legal advice. Every case depends on its specific facts.

YOUR CLAIM

What Is My Victorville Case Worth?

Economic damages

Emergency care, surgery, therapy, future treatment, lost wages, lost earning capacity, property damage and out-of-pocket costs. Not capped in California.

Non-economic damages

Pain, suffering, disfigurement, loss of normal life and loss of consortium. Capped only in medical malpractice cases.

The variables that move the number most: how serious and how permanent the injury is, whether you treated consistently, how clear fault is, and — very often the real ceiling — how much insurance is actually available.

What if the other driver has no insurance?

One in three US drivers is uninsured or underinsured. California’s minimums rose on January 1, 2025 to $30,000 / $60,000 / $15,000 — the first increase since 1967, and still nowhere near a hospital stay. Your own UM/UIM coverage often becomes the real source of recovery, and it usually covers hit-and-run too.

What does a lawyer cost?

Nothing up front, and nothing at all unless we win. Beverly Law works on contingency: the fee is a percentage of the recovery, agreed in writing before we start. If there is no recovery, you owe no attorney’s fee. Case costs are advanced by the firm.

WHERE YOUR CASE IS FILED

Where a Victorville Case Gets Filed

A Victorville injury lawsuit is filed in the San Bernardino County Superior Court. Civil cases are generally heard at the the Victorville District courthouse, though the exact courtroom is assigned based on where the crash happened. Deadlines, local rules and judges vary from one courthouse to the next.

You don’t need to figure this out — we do. But it is the reason a firm that actually tries cases in San Bernardino County is not interchangeable with one that doesn’t.

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.
