We Fight. You Recover.
Car accidents, truck accidents, motorcycle crashes, wrongful death. No fee unless we win. Your free case evaluation starts with one call.
Our personal injury law firm represents accident victims across the Coachella Valley and Southern California. Whether you suffered injuries in a car accident on Highway 111, a truck accident on the I-10 freeway, or a motorcycle crash on Monroe Street, our personal injury lawyers fight for the maximum compensation you deserve after any traffic collision in Indio.
Car accidents are the most common personal injury cases we handle. Our attorneys establish negligence after collisions on Highway 111, I-10, and local intersections involving distracted driving, speed violations, and DUI. We handle rideshare accidents and understand how seasonal traffic surges impact the Coachella Valley. Call (760) 835-9353 for a free case evaluation.
Truck accidents on the I-10 cause catastrophic injuries due to size differentials. We handle cases involving brake failure, fatigued drivers, unsecured cargo, and federal FMCSA violations, holding trucking companies, drivers, loaders, and manufacturers accountable. Call (760) 835-9353.
Motorcycle accidents cause severe injuries due to lack of protection. We handle left-turn collisions, lane splitting cases, and road hazards on Highway 111 and local roads. We fight insurance company bias using accident reconstruction to secure full compensation. Contact (760) 835-9353.
Wrongful death claims recover compensation for funeral expenses, lost income, loss of companionship, and emotional distress. Spouses, domestic partners, and children may file under CCP §377.60. Punitive damages apply in DUI cases. Call (760) 835-9353.
Pedestrian and bicycle accidents cause catastrophic injuries because riders lack motor vehicle protection. We represent victims at crosswalks and intersections throughout Indio, fighting when drivers violate right-of-way laws. We gather police reports, camera footage, and witness statements for maximum recovery.
California strict liability (Civil Code §3342) holds dog owners liable for medical bills, pain and suffering, scarring, and lost wages without proving prior aggression. Call (760) 835-9353.
Burn injuries require extensive medical treatment and cause permanent scarring. We pursue maximum damages for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and emotional impact.
| Advantage | How It Helps Your Personal Injury Case |
|---|---|
| Coachella Valley Focus | We know the Riverside County Superior Court — Indio Division, the local police report process, JFK Memorial Hospital, Eisenhower Health, and Desert Regional Medical Center. This local knowledge gives your personal injury case a significant advantage over out-of-area law firms that treat the Coachella Valley as an afterthought. |
| Trial-Ready Reputation | Insurance companies know our personal injury lawyers will take your case to a jury trial if negotiation stalls — significantly raising settlement offers. Our courtroom experience at the Riverside County Superior Court means insurance carriers take our demands seriously from the start. |
| State Bar Credentials | Attorney Lombera is an active member of the State Bar of California and a graduate of Western State College of Law. Our personal injury law firm maintains the highest professional standards, and our State Bar of California credentials mean you are represented by a lawyer who meets every requirement the bar association sets for practicing personal injury law in California. |
| No Fee Unless We Win | Our personal injury lawyers work on a contingency fee basis — you pay absolutely nothing upfront and owe no legal fees unless we recover compensation for you. This is standard among reputable personal injury attorneys in California, and it means we are fully invested in winning your case. |
| Bilingual Legal Team | Our entire staff speaks English and Spanish fluently. In the Coachella Valley, where a large percentage of residents are Spanish-speaking, having a bilingual personal injury lawyer who can communicate clearly in your preferred language makes an enormous difference. Hablamos Español. |
As a personal injury plaintiff, you may be entitled to several categories of damages depending on the severity of your injuries and the circumstances of the traffic collision. Our Indio personal injury lawyer evaluates every category to ensure you receive the maximum compensation available under California law.
Economic damages cover medical bills, rehabilitation costs, lost wages, future earning capacity loss, property damage, and out-of-pocket expenses. We calculate current and future economic losses with experts.
Non-economic damages cover pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of life enjoyment, scarring, loss of consortium, and PTSD. We calculate these with legal methodologies to fight undervaluation by insurers.
In extreme recklessness or DUI cases, Civil Code §3294 allows punitive damages to punish wrongdoers and deter similar conduct. We pursue these aggressively with evidence like bar receipts and toxicology reports.
After a traffic collision in Indio, the at-fault driver's insurance company is not on your side. Their adjusters are trained to minimize every personal injury claim. Here is what they do — and how our personal injury lawyers protect you:
Our Indio personal injury attorneys handle all communication with insurance companies from day one, shielding you from these tactics while building a compelling case for maximum compensation. You focus on recovery — we handle the fight.
The statute of limitations sets strict deadlines for filing a personal injury lawsuit in California. Miss a deadline and the court will dismiss your case — no matter how strong your personal injury claim. Understanding these deadlines is critical to protecting your legal rights.
| Claim Type | Deadline | Authority |
|---|---|---|
| Personal injury (car, truck, motorcycle, pedestrian accidents) | 2 years from date of injury | CCP §335.1 |
| Wrongful death | 2 years from date of death | CCP §335.1 |
| Claims against government entities | 6 months to file administrative claim | Gov. Code §911.2 |
| Minor's personal injury claims | Tolled until age 18, then 2 years | CCP §352 |
| Property damage only | 3 years | CCP §338 |
Every driver owes a duty of care to follow traffic laws and operate vehicles with reasonable caution. When that duty is breached through recklessness, distracted driving, or DUI, the driver is liable for injuries. Truck drivers owe heightened duty because of potential catastrophic damage. We establish what duty was owed, how it was breached, and how that caused your injuries. The discovery rule may extend statutes of limitations when injuries are not immediately apparent. Contact us immediately — evidence fades and deadlines matter.
Don't wait. Deadlines are real and evidence fades every day.

Our personal injury law firm works on a contingency fee basis — you pay nothing upfront and owe no legal fees unless we win your case. The standard contingency fee for personal injury lawyers in California is 33-40% of the recovery. During your free case evaluation, we explain the fee structure clearly so you understand the full process before making any decisions. Call our Indio personal injury attorney at (760) 835-9353 for your free consultation.
The statute of limitations for personal injury cases in California is 2 years from the date of injury under CCP §335.1. Wrongful death claims also have a 2-year deadline. Claims against government entities require a notice filed within just 6 months under Gov. Code §911.2. For minors, the statute of limitations is tolled until they turn 18. The discovery rule may extend the deadline in cases where injuries were not immediately apparent. Contact our Indio personal injury lawyer immediately — missing a deadline means losing your right to seek compensation entirely.
After a traffic collision in Indio, prioritize safety first and call 911. Move to a safe location if possible. Document the accident scene with photos and video — especially important on Highway 111 and the I-10 where traffic moves quickly. Exchange insurance information and contact details with all drivers. Get names and phone numbers from witnesses. Seek medical attention even if you feel fine — many personal injuries take hours or days to manifest. Do not admit fault. Do not give a recorded statement to any insurance company. Then call our Indio personal injury attorneys at (760) 835-9353 for a free case evaluation before the insurance company contacts you.
Every personal injury case is unique and your case value depends on multiple factors: severity and permanence of your injuries, total medical expenses both past and future, lost wages and loss of earning capacity, property damage, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and available insurance policy limits. In drunk driving or extreme recklessness cases, punitive damages under Civil Code §3294 may significantly increase your recovery. Our Indio personal injury lawyer provides a free case evaluation to assess your specific situation and give you an honest estimate based on similar cases in the Coachella Valley.
Most personal injury cases settle through negotiation or mediation without going to trial — approximately 90-95% of personal injury claims are resolved pre-trial. However, if the insurance company refuses to offer fair compensation, our personal injury lawyers are fully prepared to take your case to trial at the Riverside County Superior Court — Indio Division, which is located right here in Indio. Our trial-ready reputation means insurance carriers know we will not accept lowball settlement offers, which often results in higher settlements without needing a jury verdict.
