Chino Hills

Chino Hills sits in San Bernardino County, close to neighboring county lines, so confirm where the wreck actually occurred before you pick a courthouse. A collision in Chino Hills is handled as a San Bernardino County civil matter 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.

Use the official San Bernardino locations page to confirm the courthouse, so confirm which official location applies. Property issues after a Chino Hills collision can implicate section 338, while injury and death claims usually follow the two-year period in section 335.1.

An adjuster letter that treats the wreck as all-or-nothing is not the official California comparative-fault rule. Obtain the official crash report from the department that handled the scene, which may be a local department or the Highway Patrol depending on the road. Keep the wreck date, the report request, and any claim dates on one checklist.
