Providing Riverside Clients Strong Representation
Like most of Southern California, Riverside County experiences a high number of traffic related accidents that result in severe personal injuries like broken bones, traumatic brain injuries, spinal injuries, and more. Most often, these accidents involve cars, trucks, and motorcycles. Car and motorcycle accidents can be more straight forward to argue as there are a limited number of drivers involved, and fault is more easily determined. However, when clients are hurt in truck accidents in Riverside county, the case can be more complex because so many parties are involved in operations and maintenance of semi-trucks.

- Rear-ending

- DUIs
- Reckless driving

Frequently Asked Questions
How much can I get for my personal injury case?
Every injury and accident is different, meaning every recovery is unique. However, many injury types and situations could lend themselves to larger award amounts. Injuries with consequences that are life-altering, such as creating a disability, are often more severe and therefore, recover the largest settlements and verdicts. For life-changing injuries, many clients can expect to recover hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars in compensation. For more temporary injuries, recoveries in the tens of thousands are common.
How long do I have to file a personal injury case in Riverside County?
Riverside County’s statute of limitations on personal injury lawsuits is two years. In situations where a government agency may be involved, such as a case alleging dangerous road conditions, the statute of limitations is reduced to six months. For this reason, it’s prudent to contact a Riverside personal injury lawyer as soon as possible after an accident.
What kind of evidence do I need to file a personal injury lawsuit?
Successful personal injury lawsuits require evidence proving that the responsible party acted negligently or recklessly, resulting in the client’s injuries, and that the injuries have negatively impacted the client’s life significantly. This evidence may include medical bills and car repair bills to prove direct costs from the accident, statements from medical professionals to indicate the prognosis of the client’s injury, or documents showing a loss of income.
When will my personal injury lawsuit be settled?
The timeline of most personal injury lawsuits in Riverside depends on a variety of factors, including the availability of evidence, the court’s docket, or even the cooperation of the opposing party. While some cases are settled in a matter of months, others take a year or more to resolve due to delays.
What’s the difference between a settlement and a verdict?
When you bring a personal injury lawsuit in Riverside, your end goal is likely to recover a settlement or verdict to financially compensate you for your injury and damages. Most cases settle before ever reaching a courtroom. In these situations, the two parties argue and negotiate an amount that is fair to prevent a client from filing a lawsuit. This is a settlement. If no settlement is reached, the client’s personal injury lawyers file a lawsuit and take the matter to court where it is heard by a judge or jury. The judge or jury then pass down a judgment of what is a fair amount of compensation for the client. This is a verdict.
Will my case go to court?
Perhaps. Whether or not a case sees a courtroom depends largely on the willingness of the responsible party or their insurance company to negotiate fairly. Often, insurance companies lowball injured clients, trying to push clients to settle for less than they deserve. The Riverside personal injury lawyers at BD&J are not afraid of refusing unfair offers and will take the case to court if the insurance company won’t play fair.
