Chino

A wreck in Chino is a San Bernardino County matter, and a later civil filing is generally a case in the San Bernardino Superior Court, often at the civil division at 247 West Third Street in San Bernardino, or Rancho Cucamonga civil at 8303 Haven Avenue, so confirm which official location applies. Confirm the address on the official San Bernardino locations page.

Chino sits in San Bernardino County, close to Riverside County and Los Angeles County lines, so the place of the wreck chooses the court. An ordinary injury or death lawsuit after a wreck in Chino generally must be started within two years under Code of Civil Procedure section 335.1. An adjuster letter that treats the wreck as all-or-nothing is not the official California comparative-fault rule.

Ask the responding department for its official crash report, and send an SR-1 when Vehicle Code section 16000 requires it. Keep the wreck date, the report request, and any claim dates on one checklist.
