Montclair sits at a busy crossroads of San Bernardino County, where daily traffic on Central Avenue, Monte Vista Avenue, Holt Boulevard, and the I-10 freeway keeps the city moving β and occasionally leads to collisions. Public records show 234 injury collisions in the most recent final year, with 348 people hurt and 1 traffic death. Many of these crashes happen on Fridays between 5 and 7 p.m., when commuters and shoppers converge near the freeway on-ramps and shopping corridors. If you were injured in one of these incidents, or in a fall, workplace accident, or other mishap around town, you may be weighing medical bills, missed work, and an uncertain path forward.

We don't charge you anything to make that connection, and the attorneys we work with take cases on contingency, meaning there's no fee unless they recover money for you.

California generally gives you two years from the date of injury to file a personal injury claim, though claims against a government entity can require notice in as little as six months. Waiting too long can close the door on your case entirely.
California follows pure comparative fault, so even if you're partly responsible for what happened, you may still recover a share of damages. An attorney can help sort out how fault is divided in your specific crash.
For most ordinary injury cases in California, there's no cap on non-economic damages like pain and suffering. That means your compensation isn't artificially limited before your case is even evaluated.
