California Personal Injury Law — What Barstow Residents Need to Know
California follows a pure comparative negligence rule, meaning you can recover damages even if you were partially at fault for the accident. Your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault — but you are never completely barred from recovering compensation.
The statute of limitations for personal injury in California is generally 2 years from the date of injury (CCP § 335.1). For claims against government entities — city of Barstow, San Bernardino County, or the state — you have only 6 months to file a government tort claim. Missing this deadline can bar your claim. A late-claim application may be available in limited circumstances within one year under Gov. Code section 911.4 -- speak with an attorney immediately.
Personal injury cases in Barstow are typically filed at the Barstow Justice Center. HellaHurt's attorneys are experienced in San Bernardino County court procedures and have handled cases throughout the region.

What to Do After an Accident in Barstow
The steps you take immediately after an accident in Barstow can significantly affect the value of your claim. Here is what to do:
- Call 911: Get police and emergency medical services to the scene. The police report is foundational evidence for your claim.
- Seek medical attention immediately: Even if you feel fine, get evaluated. Many serious injuries — including traumatic brain injuries and internal bleeding — have delayed symptoms. Gaps in medical treatment hurt your claim.
- Document the scene: Take photos and video of the accident scene, all vehicles involved, road conditions, your visible injuries, and any property damage. Surveillance footage is often overwritten within 24–72 hours.
- Get witness information: Names and phone numbers of anyone who saw what happened. Witnesses become harder to locate over time.
- Do not give a recorded statement: Do not give a recorded statement to the other party's insurance company without consulting an attorney first. Adjusters use recorded statements to find inconsistencies that reduce your settlement.
