Common Questions

Riverside Car Accident FAQ

Gonzales Law Offices works on 100% contingency — you pay nothing unless we win your case. No upfront costs, no hourly charges, and no fee if we don't win. Call 909-587-6336 for a free consultation any time, day or night.

The SR-91/I-215 interchange near downtown Riverside is one of the most collision-prone freeway exchanges in Riverside County. University Ave (especially near UCR), Market St, and Arlington Ave see high pedestrian and vehicle collision rates. The I-215 through the Box Springs grade also generates significant truck accidents.

You may still recover compensation through your own Uninsured Motorist (UM) coverage, which California requires all drivers to carry. Gonzales Law has recovered hundreds of thousands for Riverside clients whose at-fault drivers had no insurance. Call 909-587-6336 to review your options.

Cases resolved through settlement typically take 6–18 months. Cases requiring litigation in Riverside Superior Court may take 2–3 years. Gonzales Law works aggressively to achieve maximum settlement without unnecessary delays — most clients receive settlement offers within the first year.

Yes, but government claims have a strict 6-month filing deadline. If poor road design, a missing stop sign, or city-maintained road hazard contributed to your accident, you may have a claim against the City of Riverside, Caltrans, or UC Riverside. Call 909-587-6336 immediately — the clock starts the day of the accident.

Absolutely. Motorcycle accident claims are among our most frequently handled case types in Riverside County. The SR-91, I-215, and University Ave corridors are particularly dangerous for riders. Insurers routinely try to blame motorcyclists to limit payouts — we counter that aggressively.
