The Law Offices of Edgar P. Lombera
We Fight. You Recover.
Car accidents, truck accidents, motorcycle crashes, wrongful death. Serving Riverside and the Inland Empire. No fee unless we win.
Our personal injury law firm represents accident victims in traffic collision cases throughout Riverside, Riverside County, and the Inland Empire. Whether you suffered injuries in a car accident on the SR-91, a truck accident near the I-215 interchange, or a motorcycle crash along SR-60, our personal injury lawyers fight for the compensation you deserve.
Car accidents are the leading personal injury cases our Riverside lawyers handle. The SR-91, I-215, and SR-60 corridors see heavy traffic and frequent traffic collisions. Our car accident attorneys handle rear-end collisions, T-bone crashes at Riverside intersections, distracted driving, and drunk driving accidents throughout the Inland Empire. We also represent rideshare accident victims involving Uber and Lyft vehicles. After any Riverside car accident, our personal injury lawyers gather police reports, traffic camera footage, and witness statements to prove fault and establish your damages. Call (909) 915-0181 for a free case evaluation.
Truck accidents on the I-215 and SR-60 cause catastrophic injuries due to the size of commercial vehicles and tractor-trailers. Our personal injury law firm handles truck accident cases involving brake failure, fatigued truck driver violations, unsecured cargo, and overloaded trailers. Truck accidents require understanding federal FMCSA regulations, hours-of-service rules, and electronic logging data. Under vicarious liability, the truck driver, the trucking company, and cargo loaders may all share fault. Our personal injury attorneys pursue black box data and trailer maintenance logs to hold every responsible party accountable in trucking accident cases. Call (909) 915-0181 after any truck accident in Riverside County.
Motorcycle accidents frequently cause severe injuries — traumatic brain injury, spinal cord damage, road rash, broken bones, burn injuries, and death — because motorcycle riders lack the protection of an enclosed motor vehicle. Our personal injury attorneys handle motorcycle accident claims involving left-turn crashes, lane splitting incidents, helmet law disputes, and road hazard collisions throughout Riverside and Southern California. Insurance companies often try to assign unfair fault to motorcycle riders. Our personal injury lawyer uses accident reconstruction and traffic collision analysis to fight this bias. Riverside County roads like Alessandro Boulevard and Van Buren Boulevard see frequent motorcycle accidents. Call (909) 915-0181 for a free motorcycle accident evaluation.
When a loved one dies due to negligence in a traffic collision, the surviving family faces grief compounded by financial pressure from funeral costs, lost income, and medical bills. A wrongful death claim allows spouses, domestic partners, and children to seek compensation under California law (CCP §377.60). Our Riverside wrongful death attorneys pursue damages for funeral expenses, loss of financial support, loss of consortium, and emotional distress. In accidental death cases involving drunk driving or extreme recklessness, punitive damages may apply under Civil Code §3294. Wrongful death lawsuits in Riverside County are filed at the Riverside County Superior Court. Call (909) 915-0181 to speak with a wrongful death attorney.
Pedestrian accidents and bicycle accidents in Riverside often cause catastrophic injuries because walkers and cyclists have no protection against a motor vehicle at speed. Our personal injury attorneys represent victims injured at crosswalks and intersections along University Avenue, Market Street, and Magnolia Avenue. For bus and public transit accidents, additional liability rules may apply. We also handle dog bite cases under California's strict liability law (Civil Code §3342) — the dog owner is responsible for your medical bills, pain and suffering, and lost wages regardless of the animal's prior behavior. Call (909) 915-0181.

As a personal injury plaintiff, you may be entitled to several categories of damages depending on the severity of your injuries and the traffic collision circumstances. Our Riverside personal injury lawyer evaluates every category to maximize your recovery under California law.
Medical bills (current and future), rehabilitation and therapy costs, lost wages from missed employment, loss of earning capacity, property damage, and all out-of-pocket expenses. Our personal injury attorneys work with medical experts and economists to calculate complete economic losses in your personal injury claim.
Pain and suffering, emotional distress and stress, loss of enjoyment of life, loss of consortium, quality of life impairment, and scarring. Insurance companies undervalue these damages — our personal injury lawyer fights for what you truly deserve.
In cases involving drunk driving, driving under the influence of alcohol, reckless driving, or insurance bad faith, California Civil Code §3294 allows punitive damages on top of compensatory damages. Our personal injury attorneys pursue evidence including mobile phone records, toxicology reports, and bar receipts to support punitive damage claims.
After a traffic collision in Riverside, the at-fault driver's insurance company is not your advocate. Their adjusters minimize every personal injury claim:
Our Riverside personal injury attorneys handle all insurance company communication from day one. We understand California insurance bad faith laws and hold carriers accountable when they deny or delay legitimate personal injury claims.
The statute of limitations sets strict deadlines for filing a personal injury lawsuit in California. Miss a deadline and the court dismisses your case regardless of its merits.
| Claim Type | Deadline | Authority |
|---|---|---|
| Personal injury (car, truck, motorcycle accidents) | 2 years from injury | CCP §335.1 |
| Wrongful death | 2 years from death | CCP §335.1 |
| Government entity claims | 6 months admin claim | Gov. Code §911.2 |
| Minor's claims | Tolled until age 18, then 2 years | CCP §352 |
| Property damage only | 3 years | CCP §338 |
In every Riverside personal injury case, the burden of proof rests on the plaintiff. You must show the defendant owed a duty of care, breached that duty through negligent conduct, and the breach caused your injuries and damages. Every driver on Riverside roads has a duty of care to operate their vehicle safely. When that duty of care is violated through distracted driving, speeding, reckless driving, or driving under the influence, and a traffic collision results, the at-fault party bears legal responsibility. Our personal injury attorneys gather police reports, accident reconstruction data, expert witness testimony, and medical records to meet this burden of proof. The discovery rule may extend deadlines when injuries are not immediately apparent — but evidence fades quickly.
Deadlines are real and evidence disappears. Act now.
Call (909) 915-0181 — Free ConsultationRiverside is the largest city in Riverside County and a major Inland Empire hub in Southern California. The convergence of SR-91, I-215, and SR-60 creates heavy traffic and a high rate of traffic collisions. Our personal injury law office serves Riverside from our Redlands office (nearest to Riverside) and our Palm Springs location for eastern Riverside County clients.
Our personal injury lawyers handle traffic collision cases from high-risk Riverside areas: the SR-91 between Riverside and Corona, the I-215 through downtown Riverside, the SR-60 connecting Riverside to Moreno Valley, Arlington Avenue, University Avenue near UCR, Magnolia Avenue, and Van Buren Boulevard. Intersection accidents at stop sign and signal-controlled crossings remain a serious road safety hazard throughout the city.
After a personal injury in Riverside, we coordinate with Riverside Community Hospital, Riverside University Health System, Kaiser Permanente Riverside, and Loma Linda University Medical Center. Personal injury lawsuits are filed at the Riverside County Superior Court — Riverside Division (4050 Main Street). Our personal injury attorneys have experience with local court procedures and know how Riverside County juries evaluate traffic collision and wrongful death cases.
