What to do after an injury in San Bernandino
Small steps early on can protect your claim later.
- Get medical care. Follow your provider’s advice and keep every record and bill.
- Report the incident. For a collision, ask for the report number. For a fall or other injury on property, tell the owner or manager and ask for a written record.
- Document the scene. Take photos of vehicles, hazards, injuries, and street signs. Save names and contact details for witnesses.
- Be careful with insurers. Do not sign a release or accept a payment until you understand what rights you are giving up.
- Keep a simple log. Note symptoms, missed work, and out-of-pocket costs.

- Filing deadlines. Many California injury claims must be filed within a set time. For many cases that period is two years under Code of Civil Procedure section 335.1, and some claims can have shorter deadlines.
- Shared fault. California uses comparative fault. Being partly at fault does not always end a claim, but it can reduce what you may recover.
- Insurance and medical bills. Health insurers and medical providers may seek repayment from a recovery. Ask how those claims could affect what you receive.

Which court may hear a personal injury case from this area?
