Evidence that carries truck accident cases in San Bernardino
- Photos before repairs — vehicles, the scene, skid marks, and visible injuries, taken before anything is fixed or healed.
- Medical records from day one — the first visit ties the injury to the incident; gaps in treatment become the insurer's argument.
- Witness names and numbers — collected at the scene, because witnesses scatter quickly.
- Camera footage — dashcams, doorbells, and business cameras near the scene often recorded it, and most systems overwrite within days or weeks.
- Official reports — the report number is the key that opens the record later.
- A simple log — symptoms, missed work, and expenses, kept as they happen.
None of this requires deciding anything about lawyers — it just preserves the claim while the evidence still exists.

Why quick action matters in California
California generally allows two years from the date of injury to file a personal injury lawsuit, but shorter deadlines can apply — especially for claims involving a government entity, which may require a formal claim within six months. Evidence also fades quickly. This is general information, not legal advice; a participating law firm can explain the deadlines that apply to you.
