Cabazon is an unincorporated community of Riverside County (ZIP 92230) in the San Gorgonio Pass, east of Banning along Interstate 10. It is best known for the Cabazon Dinosaurs, the Desert Hills Premium Outlets and the nearby Morongo Casino Resort on the Morongo Band of Mission Indians reservation. A few thousand people live here, but millions of drivers pass through every year on the way to Palm Springs and the desert.

Cabazon Roads and Crash Patterns
Interstate 10 is the main artery, with heavy truck traffic and strong crosswinds through the pass — the wind that drives the turbines near Whitewater can push high-profile vehicles out of their lanes. Exits at Main Street, Apache Trail and Fields Road feed outlet, casino and tourist traffic onto local roads. Common claim patterns: rear-end crashes in stop-and-go weekend traffic on I-10, big-rig and sideswipe crashes, impaired drivers leaving the area at night, and pedestrians hurt in large parking lots.
Where to Get Care
Common destinations for people hurt in Cabazon include San Gorgonio Memorial Hospital (600 N. Highland Springs Avenue, Banning), Desert Regional Medical Center (1150 N. Indian Canyon Drive, Palm Springs), and Redlands Community Hospital (350 Terracina Boulevard, Redlands).

Wind, Trucks and the San Gorgonio Pass
The pass is one of the windiest stretches of freeway in Southern California, and it carries a large share of the trucks moving between the ports and the desert. When a big rig drifts, rolls or jackknifes, the case may involve the driver, the trucking company, a broker or a loading company, and federal driving-hour and inspection records.
We move quickly to preserve truck data, dash-cam and driver logs, and we identify every policy that may apply, including your own uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage.
Court and Deadlines
Under the Riverside County Superior Court civil filing order effective August 1, 2026, injury cases from ZIP 92230 are filed by case size: unlimited civil cases (generally over $35,000) at the Riverside Historic Courthouse (4050 Main Street, Riverside), and limited civil cases at the Moreno Valley Courthouse (13800 Heacock Street, Moreno Valley). The usual deadline to sue a private party is two years from the injury (Code of Civil Procedure section 335.1). Claims involving the County of Riverside, the city, Caltrans or another public entity usually require a written government claim within six months (Government Code section 911.2).

Cabazon Injury FAQs
Do you have an office in Cabazon?
No. Cabazon clients work with our Riverside office at 4121 Brockton Ave, Ste 101. Call (951) 583-1900 or text (949) 776-8964 — we can meet by phone or video.
I was hurt at a casino or business on tribal land. Is my claim different?
It can be. Tribes have sovereign immunity, and injuries at a tribal casino are often handled through the tribe’s own tort claim procedures, which can have short deadlines and different rules than a regular California lawsuit. Crashes on I-10 or county roads near Cabazon follow normal California rules. Call us early so no deadline is missed.
Do you speak Spanish?
Yes. Our office staff speaks Spanish and Farsi, and you can read this page in Spanish here.
How much is the first consultation?
$0. Call or text anytime — we are available 24/7.
