The Law Offices of Edgar P. Lombera
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 Redlands personal injury law firm represents accident victims in traffic collision cases throughout the Inland Empire and Southern California. Whether you suffered injuries in a car accident on the I-10, a truck accident near the I-210, or a motorcycle crash on Orange Street, our personal injury lawyers fight for maximum compensation.
Car accidents are the most common personal injury case our Redlands lawyers handle. From rear-end traffic collisions at the I-10 and Alabama Street interchange to T-bone crashes at Redlands Boulevard intersections, our car accident attorneys understand how to prove fault and establish negligence. We handle car accidents involving distracted driving, speed limit violations, driving under the influence, and lane-change negligence throughout Redlands, San Bernardino, Loma Linda, Yucaipa, Highland, and the entire Inland Empire and Southern California. Our personal injury lawyers also handle rideshare accidents involving Uber and Lyft. Call (909) 915-0181 for a free case evaluation after any car accident in Redlands.
Truck accidents on the I-10 corridor through Redlands cause catastrophic injuries due to the massive size differential between commercial vehicles and passenger cars. Our personal injury law firm handles truck accident cases involving brake failure, fatigued driving violations, unsecured cargo, and overloaded trailers. Truck accidents require understanding federal FMCSA regulations, hours-of-service rules, and the liability chain from the truck driver to the trucking company and cargo loader. Our personal injury lawyers fight to hold every responsible party accountable. Call (909) 915-0181 after any truck accident.
Motorcycle accidents frequently result in severe injuries — traumatic brain injury, spinal cord damage, road rash, broken bones, and death — because riders lack the structural protection of an enclosed vehicle. Our personal injury attorneys handle motorcycle accident cases involving left-turn collisions, lane splitting incidents, helmet law disputes, road rash injuries, and road hazard crashes throughout Redlands and Southern California. California is one of the only states where lane splitting is legal, but insurance companies still try to assign unfair fault to motorcycle riders. Our personal injury lawyer uses accident reconstruction evidence to protect your right to full compensation. 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 unbearable grief compounded by funeral costs, lost household income, and medical bills. Our Redlands wrongful death attorneys help families recover compensation for funeral expenses, loss of financial support, loss of companionship, and emotional distress. Under California law (CCP §377.60), spouses, domestic partners, and children may file a wrongful death claim. In cases involving driving under the influence or extreme recklessness, punitive damages may be available under Civil Code §3294. Call (909) 915-0181.
Pedestrian accidents and bicycle accidents in Redlands often cause catastrophic injuries because these vulnerable road users have zero protection against a motor vehicle. Our personal injury attorneys represent pedestrian accident victims at crosswalks and intersections throughout Redlands and the Inland Empire. Redlands has seen increased pedestrian traffic collision incidents along Citrus Avenue and State Street, where speed limit violations and distracted driving endanger safety. Our personal injury lawyer gathers police reports, traffic camera evidence, and witness statements to build the strongest case.
California imposes strict liability on dog owners under Civil Code §3342 — a dog bite victim does not need to prove the animal had a history of aggression. If a dog bites you in Redlands, the owner is liable for medical bills, pain and suffering, scarring, and lost wages. Our personal injury lawyer handles dog bite cases throughout Redlands and San Bernardino County. Call (909) 915-0181 for a free case evaluation.

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 Redlands personal injury lawyer evaluates every category to ensure maximum recovery under California law.
Economic damages compensate measurable financial losses: emergency room and surgery costs, ongoing rehabilitation, lost wages from missed work, loss of future earning capacity, property damage, and all out-of-pocket expenses related to your injury. Our personal injury attorneys work with medical experts and economists to calculate both current and future economic losses.
Non-economic damages cover losses without a receipt: pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life, disfigurement, loss of consortium, and the overall impact on your daily life. Insurance companies routinely undervalue these damages. Our personal injury lawyer uses established legal methodologies to calculate and fight for the full compensation you deserve.
In cases involving extreme recklessness or negligence — such as drunk driving, driving under the influence, or corporate bad faith — California Civil Code §3294 allows punitive damages on top of compensatory awards. Our personal injury attorneys pursue punitive damages when the evidence supports them, including subpoenaing bar receipts, phone records showing distracted driving, and toxicology results.
After a traffic collision in Redlands, the at-fault driver's insurance company is not on your side. Their adjusters are trained to minimize every personal injury claim:
Our Redlands personal injury attorneys handle all communication with insurance companies from day one. We understand California insurance bad faith laws and hold carriers accountable when they unreasonably deny or delay legitimate claims. 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 regardless of its strength.
| 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 |
The discovery rule may extend the statute of limitations when injuries are not immediately apparent. However, evidence disappears, witnesses forget, and surveillance footage gets overwritten. The sooner you contact a Redlands personal injury lawyer, the stronger your case.
Don't wait. Deadlines are real and evidence fades every day.
Call (909) 915-0181 Now — Free ConsultationRedlands sits at the heart of the Inland Empire in San Bernardino County, with approximately 73,000 residents. The city's location along the I-10 and I-210 freeways creates significant traffic collision risk, particularly during rush hour commutes between Redlands, San Bernardino, Loma Linda, and the greater Southern California region.
Our personal injury lawyers have handled numerous traffic collision cases on the I-10 freeway through Redlands and San Bernardino, the I-210 interchange connecting to Highland, Redlands Boulevard at major cross streets, Orange Street corridor, Citrus Avenue and State Street, and Tennessee Street near commercial areas. These corridors see frequent car accidents, truck accidents, motorcycle crashes, and pedestrian accidents.
After a personal injury in Redlands, our attorneys coordinate with Redlands Community Hospital, Loma Linda University Medical Center (a premier trauma center in Southern California), and specialty rehabilitation facilities throughout the Inland Empire. We work with providers who treat personal injury patients on lien so your care is never delayed by insurance disputes.
Personal injury lawsuits filed by Redlands residents are heard at San Bernardino County Superior Court. Our personal injury attorneys have extensive experience in this courthouse and understand local procedures and jury tendencies.

Our personal injury law firm works on a contingency fee basis — you pay nothing upfront and owe no legal fees unless we win. The standard contingency fee in California is 33-40% of the recovery. We explain the full fee structure during your free case evaluation. Call (909) 915-0181 for your free consultation.
The statute of limitations is 2 years from the date of injury (CCP §335.1). Wrongful death claims also have a 2-year deadline. Claims against government entities require notice within 6 months (Gov. Code §911.2). For minors, the deadline is tolled until age 18. The discovery rule may apply when injuries are not immediately apparent. Contact our Redlands personal injury lawyer immediately — missing a deadline means losing your right to compensation.
Prioritize safety and call 911. Document the scene with photos and video. Exchange insurance and contact information with all drivers. Get witness details. Seek medical attention even if you feel fine — many injuries take days to manifest. Do not admit fault. Do not give a recorded statement to any insurance company. Then call (909) 915-0181 for a free case evaluation.
Every case is unique. Your case value depends on injury severity, medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, pain and suffering, and available insurance policy limits. Punitive damages under Civil Code §3294 may apply in drunk driving under the influence cases. Our Redlands personal injury lawyer provides a free evaluation to assess your specific situation.
We handle car accidents, truck accidents, motorcycle accidents, pedestrian accidents, bicycle accidents, rideshare accidents, dog bite injuries, wrongful death claims, traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, and catastrophic injury cases. We focus on vehicle-related and catastrophic injuries. If your case involves a slip-and-fall, defective product, or workplace injury, we will connect you with trusted counsel who specializes in those areas.
Most cases settle without trial — roughly 90-95% resolve through negotiation. If the insurance company won't offer fair compensation, we are prepared to litigate at San Bernardino County Superior Court. Our trial-ready reputation often results in higher settlement offers because carriers know we won't accept lowball amounts.
You may still recover compensation through your own uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage. California law requires insurers to offer UM/UIM coverage. Our attorneys investigate every avenue — including the at-fault driver's personal assets and employer liability. Call (909) 915-0181 for a free consultation about your options.
Studies consistently show that victims represented by a lawyer recover significantly more — even after fees. Insurance companies have teams working to minimize your payout. Our Redlands law firm gathers evidence, calculates full damages, retains experts, and negotiates aggressively. The free case evaluation costs you nothing.
Yes. Our entire team is bilingual. We provide complete personal injury services in English and Spanish — from your free consultation through settlement. Ofrecemos servicios completos de lesiones personales en español. Llame al (909) 915-0181 para una consulta gratuita.
California follows a pure comparative negligence rule — you can recover damages even if partially at fault. If found 20% at fault, you still recover 80% of damages. Insurance companies try to assign excessive fault to reduce payouts. Our personal injury attorneys use accident reconstruction, witness testimony, and expert analysis to minimize your fault percentage and maximize your recovery.
Your consultation is completely confidential. We review your situation, explain your legal options, and give you honest legal advice — no pressure, no obligation. Consultas disponibles en español.
