Riverside
Injury claims in the county seat
Riverside is the county seat and the largest city in Riverside County. Three freeways meet here, the 91, the 60, and the 215, and city traffic runs heavy on Magnolia Avenue, Van Buren Boulevard, Arlington Avenue, University Avenue, and La Sierra Avenue.
UC Riverside, California Baptist University, La Sierra University, and Riverside City College bring students, cyclists, and e-bike and scooter riders onto busy streets, and downtown draws evening crowds.
Crashes on city streets are handled by the Riverside Police Department; crashes on the freeways, usually by the CHP. If a case has to be filed, it is usually filed in Riverside County Superior Court.
Our office at 700 E. Grand Blvd. in Corona is a short drive west on the 91. You can meet with us there, talk by phone, or start online. We deal with the insurers and keep you informed in plain English.

Common questions
Riverside injury questions
What if I was on an e-bike or scooter?
Riders can recover when a driver’s carelessness causes the crash. Under California’s comparative fault rule, a share of blame reduces what you recover but does not erase it.
How much does it cost?
No fee and no costs unless we recover. We work on a contingency fee, and we explain the percentage in writing before you sign.
Do I have to drive to Corona?
No. You can handle most of the claim by phone and online. If you would rather meet in person, our office is a short drive west on the 91.
What if an RTA bus or city vehicle was involved?
A claim against the City of Riverside, the Riverside Transit Agency, or another public agency usually must be presented in writing within six months, before any lawsuit. Call early.
How long do I have to file?
Most California injury lawsuits must be filed within two years of the injury, and claims against a public agency are due far sooner. The sooner we start, the more evidence we can preserve.
Do you speak Spanish?
Yes. Se habla español. Tell us when you call and we will arrange it.
