Your Attorney Stays Involved Throughout Your Case
When you hire Accident Attorneys, you work directly with an attorney rather than being passed to a paralegal or assistant. We take time to understand what happened, how the injury has changed your routine, and which losses need to be documented.
That attention goes beyond collecting medical bills. We consider the effects on employment, recreation, family life, and long-term needs when supported by the facts. Our attorneys have over 75 years of combined legal experience, and our firm has recovered more than $1 billion for clients through settlements and jury trials.
Personal Injury Cases & Losses We Evaluate
We handle cases arising from car, truck, and motorcycle accidents. Our work also includes pedestrian injuries, unsafe property conditions, defective products, and wrongful death. We have pursued complex cases, including a product liability case that resulted in the recall of a faulty product.
Depending on the facts, losses evaluated in a personal injury claim may include:
- Medical expenses: Emergency care, hospitalization, rehabilitation, medication, and other treatment connected to the injury.
- Income losses: Missed wages and other documented effects on the injured person’s ability to work.
- Property damage: Vehicle repairs, replacement costs, and other damage caused by the accident.
- Non-economic harm: Pain and suffering and the injury’s effect on daily activities.
Available evidence, insurance coverage, medical treatment, the conduct of each party, and California law can affect the evaluation. Every case presents a different combination of facts and losses.
Free Consultations & Flexible Meeting Options
We’re available 24/7 and offer free consultations in English or Spanish. During your initial conversation, we can discuss what happened, your injuries, insurance communications, available records, witnesses, and possible next steps.
We work on a contingency fee basis. This generally means attorney fees are tied to a recovery rather than billed as an upfront hourly charge, although the written fee agreement controls the specific terms. Home and hospital visits are available when an injury makes travel difficult.
California Deadlines for Victorville Injury Claims
Under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 335.1, you generally have two years from the date of an injury to file a personal injury lawsuit, but exceptions and different deadlines may apply. Claims involving a public entity, medical care, a minor, or an injury discovered later can follow other rules. A prompt consultation can also help leave more time to identify responsible parties and preserve photographs, video, witness details, reports, and other evidence.
California uses comparative fault, which can reduce compensation according to a person’s share of responsibility for an accident. Jurisdiction and filing location also depend on the facts. The Superior Court of California, County of San Bernardino operates a Victorville District for High Desert court services.

What is the minimum amount for a personal injury settlement?
There is no minimum amount of money allowed for a personal injury settlement; every case is determined by the unique facts surrounding the claim. Additionally, most jurisdictions do not have a cap on the amount of my money that you can receive through a personal injury settlement.
In California, the amount of money that you can receive for noneconomic damages (pain, suffering, etc.) for a medical malpractice case is limited to $250,000; however, other injury settlements are not subject to this restriction.
-
How will I receive my personal injury settlement?
If you file a claim against an individual, his / her insurance company is probably aware of the judgment. If the insurance is unaware of the settlement, you can notify the insurer. At this point, the insurance provider should issue a check for the settlement.
If the responsible party does not have insurance, you may need to enter the settlement with the court. The court has the authority to enforce the judgment if the responsible party refuses to pay.

How much is my personal injury case worth?
Every case is different. A variety of circumstances determine the value of your claim. Property damage, medical expenses, hospitalization fees, pain, and suffering, missed wages, and many other factors can affect the outcome of your case.
You can even collect damages for future unemployment / missed wages and ongoing medical costs. Speak with a member of the legal team at Accident Attorneys to learn more about the potential value of your case.
