Personal Injury Cases We Handle
Personal injury law covers a wide range of situations where someone acted or failed to act in a way that caused injury to another person. When this happens, California law allows victims to seek compensation from the responsible party for the impact that the injury has on their life.
At Jacoby & Meyers, our San Bernardino injury attorneys have been helping the seriously injured since 1972. In that time, we have represented clients who have been hurt as a result of:
- Bicycle accidents
- Bus accidents
- Car accidents
- Construction accidents
- Dog bites
- Fires
- Hit and run
- Inadequate or negligent security
- Lyft accidents

- Motorcycle accidents
- Pedestrian accidents
- Premises liability accidents
- Product defects
- Scooter accidents
- Slip and fall incidents
- Sports injuries

While no two cases are the same, our experience guiding people through the insurance, legal, and recovery processes has given us valuable insight into how to get results. We understand the law, how insurance companies approach personal injury cases, where to find insurance coverage and evidence, and how to maximize results for our clients.
Common Injuries In Personal Injury Cases
A motor vehicle collision, dog attack, or dangerous property condition can injure someone in a variety of ways. It’s incredibly important that your attorney understands the medicine involved, what maximum medical improvement looks like, and what your needs will be moving forward. Our San Bernardino personal injury attorneys have significant experience handling cases involving:
- Broken bones
- Burns
- Lacerations
- Neck & back injuries
- Spinal cord injuries
- Brain injuries
- Amputations
- Orthopedic injuries
- Catastrophic injuries
- Fatal injuries
- Paraplegia
- Quadriplegia
- Whiplash
When we take a case, our first priority is to ensure our clients get immediate medical care and access to the right treatments and, if necessary, medical specialists. This is incredibly important, even if you are unsure of how hurt you actually are. In many cases, such as those involving soft tissue or nerve damage, injuries may not present themselves immediately and worsen over time. Seeking medical attention and taking the time to fully understand your injuries and how they impact your life – both now and in the future – is vital to reaching maximum medical improvement and the compensation you may be entitled to.
How Much is my Case Worth?
One of the most common questions that clients have is: How much is my case worth? The answer, unfortunately, is that the value of your case depends on several factors, including the extent of your injuries and the amount of insurance coverage available. Your settlement is what will cover your medical bills, ongoing healthcare needs, and compensate you for pain, suffering, and any other losses. Some of the pain points that we present in our clients’ claims to establish a settlement value often include the following:
- Medical bills (current and future)
- Ongoing need for medication, medical equipment, or a care provider
- Lost wages and one’s limitation or inability to work in the future
- Emotional and psychological suffering
- Physical suffering and the severity of the injury
- Property damage
Ultimately, if someone tries to tell you how much your case is worth without all of the facts or without taking the time to fully understand and document your injuries, they are doing you a disservice and you may be left with a settlement that is woefully inadequate.
How Long Do I Have To File a Lawsuit?
In California, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims is generally two years from the date of the injury. However, many situations may shorten or lengthen the time limit, depending on the specific circumstances.
For example, if the injury was not discovered right away, the statute of limitations generally starts from the date the problem was discovered or should reasonably have been discovered. On the other hand, if the accident involves a claim against a government agency, the deadline is much shorter. Additionally, claims against a medical provider have different time limits as well, depending on the facts.
These situations can be confusing and difficult to figure out on your own. An attorney can explain your situation to you and help ensure that all deadlines are met and your rights are protected.
