Here’s a closer look at the types of personal injury cases we handle and how we can help you pursue justice.

Car Accidents

San Bernardino is intersected by major highways like the I-10, I-215, and I-15, making car accidents a daily reality. Rear-end collisions, T-bone crashes at intersections, and multi-vehicle pileups are common and often devastating. Suppose a distracted, speeding, or impaired driver has hit you. In that case, we’ll help you gather evidence, work with accident reconstruction experts, and negotiate firmly with insurers to secure full compensation for your medical expenses, lost wages, and pain.

Truck Accidents

Collisions with commercial trucks are among the most catastrophic types of vehicle accidents. The I-15 corridor and Cajon Pass are high-risk zones for rollover and jackknife incidents involving 18-wheelers. We handle complex truck accident claims involving multiple parties, such as the trucking company, driver, and cargo loader. We know how to challenge their insurance and safety protocols when they fail to protect the public.

Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcyclists in San Bernardino face constant danger from inattentive drivers, unsafe lane changes, and poorly maintained roads. These crashes often result in severe injuries like road rash, traumatic brain injuries, and spinal cord damage. Our firm understands the unique challenges bikers face in proving liability, and we fight against unfair biases to ensure you’re treated fairly.

Pedestrian Accidents

Crosswalks near San Bernardino Transit Center, Baseline Street, and E Street see heavy foot traffic and, unfortunately, frequent pedestrian injuries. Drivers often fail to yield, speed through intersections, or get distracted by their phones. If you or a loved one was struck while walking, we’ll help prove driver negligence and pursue compensation for both physical injuries and emotional trauma.

Bicycle and Scooter Accidents

With the rise in bicycle and e-scooter usage near Cal State San Bernardino and city parks, riders are becoming increasingly vulnerable to traffic collisions. Inadequate bike lanes, dooring incidents, and road debris contribute to a significant number of serious crashes. Whether you were hit by a vehicle or injured due to poor road maintenance, we’ll help you hold the right parties accountable.

Slip and Fall / Premises Liability

Slip-and-fall injuries are common in shopping centers like Inland Center Mall, hotels along Hospitality Lane, and public buildings downtown. These injuries can result from wet floors, broken handrails, uneven sidewalks, or poor lighting. Property owners are legally obligated to maintain safe conditions. If they fail to do so, we’ll pursue a premises liability claim on your behalf to recover damages.

Workplace Injuries

San Bernardino’s economy includes warehouses, logistics hubs, and manufacturing plants, environments where injuries from heavy machinery, falls, or repetitive stress are common. While workers’ compensation covers many cases, we also explore third-party liability when non-employers (like contractors or equipment manufacturers) share blame. If your injury exceeds what workers' compensation covers, we’ll pursue additional recovery.

Dog Bites and Animal Attacks

Dog bites can lead to infection, disfigurement, and psychological trauma, especially in children. California law holds dog owners strictly liable for injuries their pets cause in public or on private property where the victim is lawfully present. If you were bitten in a park, neighborhood, or business, we can help you pursue a claim even if the dog had no history of aggression.

Public Transportation Accidents

Passengers on Omnitrans buses and Metrolink trains are entitled to a safe ride. If you were injured due to a sudden stop, vehicle malfunction, or driver negligence, we can bring a claim against the transit agency on your behalf. These cases involve strict notice rules and shorter filing deadlines; therefore, please contact us as soon as possible.

Wrongful Death

If you lost a loved one due to someone else’s negligence, whether from a car crash, workplace incident, or unsafe property, you may be entitled to compensation through a wrongful death claim. We handle these emotionally complex cases with compassion and focus, working to recover damages for funeral costs, lost financial support, and emotional suffering.

Catastrophic Injuries

Some injuries change lives forever. Spinal cord damage, traumatic brain injuries, amputations, and severe burns require lifelong care and carry enormous financial burdens. We fight for maximum compensation to cover future medical needs, in-home care, lost earning capacity, and quality of life adjustments. These cases require expert testimony, extensive documentation, and an aggressive legal strategy, exactly what we deliver.

Product Liability

Dangerous or defective products, from faulty brakes to flammable batteries, can cause devastating harm. If a defective product caused your injury, we’ll hold the manufacturer, distributor, or retailer accountable. Product liability cases require deep investigation and often involve large corporations. We’re ready to go up against them with the full force of our legal team.

Ready to Discuss Your Injury Case?

You’ve been hurt, maybe in a freeway crash, a slip-and-fall, or a workplace accident, and now you’re facing more questions than answers. How will you pay your medical bills? When can you return to work? Will the insurance company offer a fair settlement? You’re not just dealing with physical pain; you’re facing a system designed to protect profits, not people.

Every moment you wait puts your case at risk. Evidence can disappear. Witnesses can forget. And insurance adjusters will act quickly to limit what you’re owed. If you don’t have experienced legal representation fighting for you, you could walk away with far less than you need or nothing at all.

At Countrywide Trial Lawyers, we turn your uncertainty into strength. Led by a former insurance defense attorney, our team knows how to outmaneuver the tactics used to devalue your claim. We prepare every case as if it’s going to trial, and we don’t back down. With over $100 million recovered for injured Californians, we’re ready to help you take the next step.
