What Constitutes a PI Case in Ontario, CA?

Personal Injuries come in numerous shapes and sizes, but there are recognized themes that run through all injury claims in California

If you have been involved in a car accident, bitten by a dog or otherwise injured in Ontario, it is imperative that you understand your legal rights, and how any personal injury claim is likely to go forward.

Common Elements of a Personal Injury Claim in California

In most Personal Injury claims, the plaintiff (the person injured) must show four elements to be successful in Ontario. The 4 elements that the party bringing the suit (the plaintiff) must establish to succeed are: (1) the party that caused the accident (the defendant) behaved negligently, (2) that negligence caused the accident, (3) that the defendant's conduct caused the injury, and (4) that your case has been brought before the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations.

Life in Ontario

Ontario, California is a city in San Bernardino County. Its current population is about 170,000 people.

For thousands of years, the area now known as Ontario was a hunting and foraging ground for the semi-nomadic Tongva band of Native Americans. People of European descent arrived when Mexican settlers began populating the area.

Ontario's early economic growth was fueled by agriculture, and tourism by wealthy Californians, who viewed the area as a health resort, and it is still a destination for people who enjoy a warm, dry climate, either for recreation or retirement.

During and after World War Two, Ontario, and many other suburbs, experienced a housing boom, thanks to the explosion of industrial activity, which significantly increased the population. Modernly, there is still some manufacturing activity in Ontario, California, which is an important part of its economy.
