Pomona Car Accident Lawyer

Where it runs

East and west across the north half of Pomona, past Cal Poly, the Fairplex and the Garey and Towne Avenue exits, then on into Claremont.

What we see

Chain rear-end crashes when traffic stops without warning, unsafe lane changes near the 57 and 71 split, and sideswipes with big rigs heading to and from the Inland Empire.

Report and evidence

The CHP Baldwin Park Area handles it. Write down the direction, the nearest exit and your lane. Witness dashcam video matters more than anything else on a freeway crash.

Where it runs

North and south along Pomona’s west side, from the 210 down through the Kellogg Interchange with the 10 and the 71, then south toward the 60 in Diamond Bar.

What we see

Merge crashes in the interchange, where drivers cut across several lanes to make a connector, and slow-speed rear-ends in the afternoon backup heading south toward the 60.

Report and evidence

CHP. Connector-ramp crashes often come down to who changed lanes, so photos showing where the cars came to rest are worth taking if you can do it safely.

More on the 57/60 interchange

Where it runs

From the Kellogg Interchange southeast through south Pomona toward Chino and Corona.

What we see

The 71 spent years being rebuilt from an older expressway into a full freeway, and drivers still meet changed ramps and lane shifts. Speed, late merges and trucks are the common threads.

Report and evidence

CHP. If a work zone, missing sign or bad lane marking played a part, the State may share fault, and that brings in a six-month claim deadline.

More on freeway pileups

Where it runs

Across the south end of the city near Phillips Ranch, then west into Diamond Bar, where it shares lanes with the 57.

What we see

Heavy truck traffic, sudden slowdowns near the 57 confluence, and multi-car crashes where three insurance companies each blame the others.

Report and evidence

CHP. In a multi-car crash, get the plate and insurance of every car involved, not only the one that hit you.

More on rear-end collisions

Where it runs

East and west through the middle of Pomona, lined with shops, dealerships, motels and bus stops, before it continues east toward Montclair and Ontario.

What we see

Cars pulling out of driveways, left turns across several lanes, sideswipes, and pedestrians crossing between signals, especially after dark.

Report and evidence

Pomona PD. Businesses along Holt often have cameras, but many systems record over themselves within days. Ask early, or let us ask for you.

More on pedestrian accidents

Where it runs

East and west south of downtown, past the Civic Center, the police station and the courthouse, toward the 71 and the industrial areas on the east side.

What we see

T-bone crashes at signals, red-light running, and collisions with work trucks and delivery vans coming in and out of commercial lots.

Report and evidence

Pomona PD. If a commercial vehicle hit you, the company’s insurance is usually in play, and we want the driver’s employer identified early.

Pomona truck accident lawyer

Where it runs

Pomona’s main north-south street, from Foothill Boulevard down past the hospital and the 10, through downtown and the Arts Colony, and on to the south end of town.

What we see

Rear-end crashes in stop-and-go traffic, left-turn crashes at busy signals, and people on foot downtown. Ambulances heading to the hospital add to the mix.

Report and evidence

Pomona PD. Ask whether the officer took photos or measurements, and keep the incident number they give you at the scene.

More on hit-and-run crashes

Where it runs

Along the Cal Poly Pomona campus near the 57 and the 10, with Kellogg Drive running into the university.

What we see

Young and new drivers, students on bikes and scooters, and heavy traffic at class change times and on move-in weekends.

Report and evidence

Depending on where it happened, Pomona PD or the university police. Out-of-state student drivers may have insurance that is low or hard to track down, which is where your own coverage comes in.
