Hurt in the Inland Empire? Call (951) 583-1900 or text (949) 776-8964. We’re here 24/7, and the consultation is free. Our office staff speaks Spanish and Farsi. People Not Just Cases.

The Inland Empire (IE) covers a wide stretch of Riverside and San Bernardino counties east of Los Angeles and Orange County. Tafreshi Law Group focuses on the western Riverside County communities we already serve with dedicated city pages — and we meet IE clients from our Riverside office on Brockton Avenue.

Our Inland Empire office is in Riverside at 4121 Brockton Ave, Ste 101, Riverside, CA 92501. Call (951) 583-1900 for IE matters (text (949) 776-8964). We also have Orange County offices in Fountain Valley and Lake Forest when that is a better meet-up point.

Cities We Serve Across the Inland Empire

If you were hurt in one of these communities, start with the city page that matches your crash or injury location:

If you live in Ontario, Rancho Cucamonga, Fontana or another San Bernardino County city, or your city is not listed above, still call — we can usually meet you in Riverside or by phone/video.

IE Freeways and Who Writes the Report

Everyday Inland Empire driving often means SR-91, SR-60, I-15, I-215, and I-10, plus busy arterials like Magnolia, University, Alessandro, and Cajalco. After a wreck, note the roadway and the investigating agency:

  • State freeways and many on-ramps/off-ramps (91, 60, 15, 215, 10) → usually the California Highway Patrol. The CHP Riverside Area office, 8118 Lincoln Ave., Riverside, (951) 324-7210, covers much of this corridor; the officer’s card or report number shows which Area office has the file.
  • City streets → the local police department (for example Riverside PD, Corona PD) or the Riverside County Sheriff in contract / unincorporated areas.

Ask for the incident or CHP report number before you leave when you can. Call (951) 583-1900 or text (949) 776-8964 if you need help figuring out which agency has your report.

Where to Get Care

IE clients often treat at hospitals in Riverside and Corona (including Corona Regional Medical Center) and at other regional emergency departments along the 91/60/215 corridors. Save discharge papers, imaging, and every bill.

Car and truck accidents on IE freeways and city arterials.
Motorcycle, bicycle, and pedestrian crashes.

Court and Deadlines

Most Riverside County civil injury cases are filed in Riverside County Superior Court. Depending on the ZIP and case size, unlimited civil filings often go to the Riverside Historic Courthouse (4050 Main Street, Riverside) or another courthouse named in the current filing order (for example the Menifee Justice Center or the Moreno Valley Courthouse). The usual private-party deadline under CCP 335.1 is two years. Claims against cities, the county, Caltrans, or other public entities often require a written claim under Government Code 911.2 within six months. San Bernardino County crashes may be filed in that county’s courts — venue depends on the facts.

How an Inland Empire Injury Claim Usually Moves

After a crash in Riverside, Corona, Moreno Valley, or elsewhere in the IE, the early steps are practical: get medical care, identify the investigating agency, notify insurers carefully, and avoid recorded statements until you understand what is being asked. We help clients gather the CHP or police report, photos, witness names, wage records, and medical billing so the claim file is complete.

Insurance companies often move fast with a friendly first call. That does not mean you should guess at a settlement number before you finish treatment or understand future care. Our job is to organize the facts, explain options in plain language, and deal with the carrier so you can focus on healing. Contingency fee personal injury representation means you do not pay attorney fees unless we recover money for you.

Nearby: Murrieta. We also help people hurt in Murrieta — on I-15, I-215, Murrieta Hot Springs Road and Clinton Keith Road. See our I-15 / I-215 Murrieta–Temecula crash guide. Call (951) 583-1900 or text (949) 776-8964.

Meeting Us From Across the IE

Clients drive to Brockton Avenue from Corona and Eastvale via the 91, from Moreno Valley via the 60, from Perris and Menifee via the 215, and from Murrieta and Temecula via the 15. If traffic or injuries make a Riverside visit hard, we can usually meet by phone or video for the first consultation. Fountain Valley and Lake Forest remain available for clients who already work or treat in Orange County.

Bring what you have — even if it is incomplete. A report number, a stack of discharge papers, or a few phone photos is enough to start. If a government claim deadline may apply (City of Riverside, City of Corona, County of Riverside, Caltrans, or another public entity), tell us immediately so we can calendar Government Code 911.2 timelines.
