Why Work With a Personal Injury Lawyer in San Bernardino

San Bernardino is where I-10, I-215 and SR-210 meet, and the freight and commuter traffic that moves through the Inland Empire runs right through town. A serious crash, fall or dog bite can bring medical bills, missed work and pressure from insurance adjusters all at once.

If another person’s negligence caused your injury, a San Bernardino personal injury lawyer can explain your options, protect your claim and handle the insurers for you.

At Akhavan Law Firm, we handle the insurance companies, gather the evidence and push for full compensation while you focus on getting better. There is no fee unless we win, and our team speaks English and Spanish.

Injured in an Accident?

Here's What You Should Do.

If you were injured in a car accident, workplace incident, or due to someone else’s negligence, you may be entitled to compensation.

Seek medical attention immediately

Your health is the top priority—get checked even if injuries seem minor, as some symptoms appear later. Medical records also serve as critical evidence to support your claim.

Document the incident

Capture photos, gather witness information, and write down everything you remember while details are fresh. Strong documentation builds a clear narrative and strengthens your case credibility.

Contact a personal injury attorney

Engaging a lawyer early ensures your rights are protected and prevents costly mistakes when dealing with insurance companies. An experienced attorney can guide strategy, maximize compensation, and handle negotiations on your behalf.

"Speaking with a lawyer early helps protect your rights and strengthens your case."

Where Injuries Happen in San Bernardino

The city’s own road safety plan found 8,855 collisions on local streets from 2016 to 2020, including 311 that killed or seriously injured someone. Pedestrian crashes were only 6% of collisions but 33% of the deadliest ones, and improper turns and unsafe speed were the leading causes. Corridors such as Kendall Drive, 9th Street, Rialto Avenue, Meridian Avenue and E Street were named as priorities.

Common causes of injury claims we see include:

Unsafe speed on arterials and freeways
Improper turns and failure to yield
Pedestrian collisions
Drunk and distracted driving
Truck crashes on I-10 and I-215
Hit-and-run crashes
Falls on unsafe property
Dog attacks

How Our San Bernardino Office Helps

Insurance adjusters often call within days of a crash, and their goal is to pay as little as possible. We step in so you do not have to handle them alone. Our team:

Requests the crash report from San Bernardino Police or CHP and gathers photos, video and witness statements.
Collects your medical records and bills and documents lost income.
Identifies every insurance policy that may apply, including your own uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage.
Negotiates with the insurers and, if they will not be fair, is ready to file suit.

You pay nothing upfront. We work on a contingency fee, so we are paid only if we recover money for you.

Compensation Available to Injury Victims in California

California law lets an injured person recover the losses caused by someone else’s negligence. Depending on the facts, a claim may include:

Medical expenses, from the ambulance and emergency room to surgery and therapy.
Future medical care that doctors expect you will need.
Lost wages and reduced earning capacity.
Pain, suffering and emotional distress.
Property damage, such as vehicle repair or replacement.
Wrongful death damages for eligible family members.

California uses pure comparative fault, so you can still recover if you were partly to blame; your award is reduced by your share of fault. Most injury claims must be filed within two years, and claims against a public agency usually require a government claim within six months.

Injuries We Help Clients With

Crash and premises injuries range from soft-tissue strains to permanent harm. We regularly see whiplash and neck injuries, back and spinal injuries, concussions and traumatic brain injuries, broken bones, knee and shoulder injuries, dog bite wounds, burns and internal injuries. Some symptoms show up days later, so get checked right away and keep every record.

Akhavan law firm came recommended by a friend who had a good experience and I’m so glad because my experience turned out great as well. Got rear ended and hurt my neck pretty badly, they helped me get treatment and I didn’t have to pay anything. Just put my trust in Ed and his team to take care of everything and they got an insurance settlement that was more than expected. Ed went to bat for me and followed through. Highly recommend.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. About two years ago, I was in an accident that left me with a back injury, and I honestly didn’t know where to turn. Working with Ed completely changed my life for good. He truly fought hard for me every step of the way, listened to me, and made sure I always felt supported and understood. I never once felt like just another case — he really cared.
I also want to give a huge thank you to Stephanye, who was my main point of contact throughout the whole process. She was so kind, patient, and always there when I had questions or just needed reassurance. She made such a big difference for me and I’m so grateful for her.
I can’t say enough good things about Ed and Stephanye. They were there for me during one of the hardest times of my life, and because of them, things turned around for the better. I’m beyond thankful and would recommend them to anyone who needs people who will truly fight for you and be there for you.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Where is Akhavan Law Firm's San Bernardino office?

Our San Bernardino office is located at 242 E Airport Dr, Ste 212, San Bernardino, CA 92408. Call (909) 300-3472 to schedule a free consultation.

Can I get help in Spanish at the San Bernardino office?

Yes. Se habla español — Spanish-speaking support is available for clients of our San Bernardino office.

Who takes the police report after a crash on the 215 or 210 in San Bernardino?

Crashes on I-10, I-215 and SR-210 are usually handled by the California Highway Patrol’s San Bernardino Area office. Crashes on city streets are usually handled by the San Bernardino Police Department. We can request the report for you.

Where would my San Bernardino injury lawsuit be filed?

Civil cases from the San Bernardino district are handled at the San Bernardino Justice Center, 247 W 3rd St, which houses the court’s Civil Division. Many cases settle with the insurance company before trial.

What should I do immediately after a car accident in California?

Your first priority is safety — move to a safe location and call 911. Seek medical attention right away, even if you feel fine. Document everything: photos of the vehicles, the scene, and any visible injuries. Get the other driver's insurance and contact information, collect witness names, and avoid admitting fault to anyone. Then contact a personal injury attorney before speaking with any insurance company.

How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in California?

California's statute of limitations gives most accident victims 2 years from the date of injury to file a claim. But deadlines can be much shorter — if a government vehicle or agency is involved, you may have as little as 6 months to file a government tort claim. Don't wait. Missing a deadline can permanently bar your right to recover compensation.

How much does it cost to hire Akhavan Law Firm?

Nothing out of pocket. We work on a contingency fee basis — you pay zero upfront, and we only get paid if we win your case. There are no hidden fees, no hourly billing, and no financial risk to you. If we don't recover for you, you owe us nothing.

What if I was partially at fault for the accident?

You can still recover compensation. California follows a pure comparative negligence rule, meaning your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault — but not eliminated. For example, if you were 20% at fault, you can still recover 80% of your damages. Insurance companies will try to inflate your share of fault to minimize your payout. An attorney protects you from that tactic.

How long will my case take?

It depends on the severity of your injuries and whether the case settles or goes to trial. Straightforward cases with clear liability can resolve in a few months. Cases involving serious injuries, disputed fault, or uncooperative insurers can take a year or longer. We keep you informed throughout the process so there are no surprises.

What if the other driver was uninsured or underinsured?

This is more common in California than most people realize. If the at-fault driver has no insurance or insufficient coverage, you may still have options — including your own uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage. We'll review your policy and pursue every available avenue to make sure you're not left paying for someone else's negligence.
