Immediate Steps

What to Do After a Car Accident in California

The actions you take in the hours after a car accident in Fontana, San Bernardino, Ontario, or anywhere in Southern California can directly impact the value of your personal injury claim. Here is exactly what to do:

① Call 911 Immediately

Even for minor accidents, getting a police report on record is critical. The report becomes a key piece of evidence in your California car accident claim. Do not leave the scene before officers arrive.

② Document Everything

Photograph vehicle damage, road conditions, skid marks, traffic signs, and your injuries. Get names, phone numbers, and insurance information from all drivers and witnesses present at the scene.

③ Seek Medical Care

See a doctor even if you feel fine. Whiplash, TBI, and soft tissue injuries often appear 24–72 hours after impact. Delayed treatment gives insurers grounds to dispute the connection between the crash and your injuries.

④ Do NOT Give a Recorded Statement

The other driver's insurance adjuster will call you. Do not give a recorded statement without an attorney present. Anything you say can and will be used to minimize your claim. Simply say you have an attorney.

⑤ Call Gonzales Law — Free 24/7

Call 909-587-6336 before accepting any settlement offer. Insurance companies are not on your side. Victims who hire an attorney recover an average of 3–4× more than those who negotiate alone.

California Statute of Limitations

You have 2 years from the accident date to file a personal injury lawsuit in California. If a government vehicle was involved (city bus, Omnitrans, Metrolink), the deadline is only 6 months. Do not wait.

Mark Gonzales, Esq.

Mark Gonzales is a Southern California personal injury attorney with 12+ years of experience representing car accident victims throughout the Inland Empire. He is licensed in California, maintains four offices across San Bernardino and Riverside counties, and has personally secured $100M+ in recoveries for injured clients.

Before becoming a plaintiff's attorney, Mark worked as an insurance defense attorney — defending the very insurance companies that now oppose his clients. That insider experience means he knows every delay tactic, lowball strategy, and bad-faith maneuver insurers deploy, and exactly how to defeat them. No other firm in the Inland Empire offers that advantage.

Mark personally handles every case. He gives each client his direct cell number from day one — not a 1-800 intake line, not a paralegal. His 4.9-star rating across 500+ reviews and Avvo Superb 10.0 score reflect the results he delivers for real families in Fontana, San Bernardino, Ontario, Rancho Cucamonga, and across all of Southern California.

FAQs

Car Accident Lawyer FAQ — California Injury Claims

You are not legally required to have an attorney, but studies consistently show that accident victims who hire an attorney receive 3–4× more compensation on average than those who negotiate alone. Insurance companies have teams of adjusters and lawyers working to minimize your payout. Having an experienced attorney on your side levels the playing field — and at Gonzales Law Offices, there is no cost unless we win.
At Gonzales Law Offices, there is absolutely no cost unless we win your case. We work on a contingency fee basis — we take a percentage of your settlement only after you receive payment. There are no upfront fees, no hourly charges, and no cost if we don't win. Your consultation is always 100% free.
California's statute of limitations for personal injury claims is 2 years from the date of the accident. However, if a government vehicle was involved (city bus, county vehicle, Metrolink), you have only 6 months to file a government tort claim. Evidence also disappears quickly — camera footage gets deleted within 30–60 days. Contact us immediately to protect your rights.
You may still recover compensation through your own Uninsured Motorist (UM) coverage. California requires all drivers to carry UM coverage unless they specifically waive it in writing. Gonzales Law Offices has recovered hundreds of thousands of dollars for clients in exactly this situation — don't assume you have no options.
Case value depends on injury severity, medical expenses (past and future), lost wages, property damage, and fault. Gonzales Law Offices has recovered from $50,000 for minor injury cases to $4.2M+ for catastrophic collision cases across Southern California. Call 909-587-6336 for a free, honest case evaluation.
Yes. California uses pure comparative negligence — meaning even if you were partly at fault, you can still recover damages reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you were 25% at fault and your damages were $200,000, you'd still recover $150,000. Insurance companies routinely exaggerate your fault to reduce payouts — we fight that.
