Source: CCRS via data.ca.gov + CA city population. Collision counts are reported crashes from California's Crash Reporting System (CCRS), published on data.ca.gov and aggregated to city jurisdiction; fatality totals are cross-checked against NHTSA's Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS). Rates per 100,000 use annual city population. Years marked prov are provisional and update as the record is finalized.
Riverside sits where I-215 and SR-91 meet, and Van Buren Boulevard carries a large share of the city's day-to-day traffic between them. Those three corridors appear most often in the city's public collision record. In 2025, Riverside logged 1,995 injury collisions. That translated to 2,807 people hurt and 23 lives lost in a single year, in a city of about 322,000 residents. Reports tend to climb on Friday evenings between 5 p.m. and 7 p.m., when commuters heading home overlap with weekend traffic. Downtown, the historic Mission Inn still draws visitors year-round, and the streets around it stay busy. If you were one of the people counted in those numbers, or if you were hurt some other way, such as a fall at a store, a dog bite, or a collision on a bike, you may be unsure what comes next.

Healthcare provider negligence cases
Most California injury claims must be filed within two years of the injury. If a city, county, or state agency is involved, the window to file a claim can be as short as six months, so timing matters.
California follows pure comparative fault. If you were partly responsible for what happened, your recovery is reduced by your share of the blame, but you are not barred from recovering.
For a typical injury claim in California, there is no statutory limit on non-economic damages like pain, suffering, and loss of enjoyment of life.
Attorneys in the LawProactive network work on contingency. Their fee comes out of any recovery, so there are no upfront costs and no fee if the case does not result in one.
