COLTON'S DANGEROUS ROADS - WHERE ACCIDENTS HAPPEN MOST
Colton sits at the crossroads of the Inland Empire, with the I-10 and I-215 freeways creating a massive traffic convergence that brings drivers from Los Angeles, Orange County, Riverside, and beyond rushing through our community. Add in the constant stream of big rigs heading to and from the distribution centers, commuters cutting through residential streets to avoid freeway backups, and you’ve got a recipe for serious accidents. The city’s rapid growth has outpaced road improvements, leaving dangerous intersections and inadequate traffic controls throughout Colton.
The 5 Most Dangerous Intersections in Colton:
1.Fairway Drive & Valley Boulevard (Near Colton High School)
This intersection sees heavy traffic during school hours, rush periods, and sporting events, with drivers frequently running red lights and making unsafe turns. The proximity to Colton High School creates additional hazards with teenage drivers, distracted parents picking up kids, and pedestrians crossing unexpectedly. Big Al has handled multiple T-bone crashes here where drivers heading south on Fairway Drive get slammed by eastbound traffic on Valley Boulevard that fails to stop. The sight lines are compromised by large SUVs and trucks, making it nearly impossible to see smaller vehicles until it’s too late.
2. Mount Vernon Avenue & Washington Street (Central Business District)
Located in the heart of Colton’s business district, this intersection combines heavy commercial traffic with impatient drivers trying to access shopping centers and restaurants. The multiple turning lanes create confusion, especially for out-of-town visitors unfamiliar with the traffic pattern. Big Al frequently sees rear-end collisions here when drivers suddenly brake for pedestrians in the crosswalk, as well as side-swipe accidents when vehicles try to change lanes at the last second. The afternoon sun creates serious visibility issues for westbound drivers on Washington Street.
3. I-215 Southbound Off-Ramp at Mount Vernon Avenue (Freeway Interchange)
This off-ramp dumps high-speed freeway traffic directly into local streets, creating a dangerous speed differential that leads to devastating crashes. Drivers exiting the freeway often fail to adjust their speed appropriately, while local traffic expects much slower speeds. The merge area is too short, forcing vehicles to make quick decisions that often result in collisions. Big Al has represented several clients who were rear-ended by drivers flying off the freeway, as well as victims of side-impact crashes when freeway drivers try to cut across multiple lanes immediately after exiting.
4. Rancho Avenue & Valley Boulevard (Near Shopping Centers)
This busy intersection serves multiple shopping plazas and restaurants, creating constant turning movements and pedestrian traffic throughout the day. The combination of distracted drivers looking for parking, pedestrians crossing mid-block, and delivery trucks blocking sight lines makes this one of Colton’s most accident-prone locations. Big Al regularly handles cases involving pedestrians struck while crossing to reach the various businesses, as well as T-bone crashes when drivers make left turns without properly yielding to oncoming traffic.
5. La Cadena Drive & Washington Street (Residential/Commercial Border)
The heavy retail traffic around the Walmart Supercenter and surrounding big-box stores creates hazardous conditions with shoppers making unpredictable turns, backing out of parking spaces, and pedestrians crossing unexpectedly. Weekend traffic is particularly dangerous, with families distracted by children and shopping, leading to frequent parking lot collisions that spill into the intersection. Big Al has extensive experience with retail-related accidents and premises liability issues in this area.
Other High-Crash Areas:
I-10 through Colton (construction zones and big rig traffic)
Mount Vernon Avenue corridor (heavy commercial traffic)
Pepper Avenue near shopping centers
Valley Boulevard during school zones
Construction areas along major arterials
The Colton Challenge:
As a transportation hub for the Inland Empire, Colton deals with thousands of out-of-town drivers daily who don’t know our roads, combined with massive commercial trucks serving the region’s distribution centers. This creates unpredictable traffic patterns and frequent serious accidents.

Real Results for Real Families
Attorney Big Al has handled over 10,000 accident cases in the past 15 years, recovering millions of dollars for Los Angeles County families hurt through no fault of their own. While every case is different and past results don’t guarantee future outcomes, here’s what Attorney Big Al has actually achieved:
Million-Dollar Settlements: Attorney Big Al secured a $1.4 million settlement for a pedestrian struck in a crosswalk near SoFi Stadium, covering lifetime medical care and lost earning capacity.
Six-Figure Victories: A 34-year-old Inglewood teacher rear-ended on Century Boulevard received $725,000 after Big Al proved the other driver was texting. The settlement covered three spinal surgeries, a year of physical therapy, and permanent disability.
Fighting Lowball Offers: Insurance company offered $18,000 for a side-impact crash at Manchester and Prairie. Big Al took the case, documented hidden injuries, and negotiated a $340,000 settlement—nearly 20 times the original offer.
Recent Win: Just last month, Attorney Big Al settled an Uber accident case for $480,000 after the rideshare company initially denied all responsibility. The client, an Inglewood resident, can now afford ongoing treatment for traumatic brain injury.
Taking On Tough Cases: Big Al has litigated multiple cases over $2 million when insurance companies refused to negotiate fairly. While he doesn’t personally try cases in court, he builds them so strong that insurers settle for top dollar before trial.
These results happened because Attorney Big Al properly investigated each accident, thoroughly documented every injury, built cases with solid medical evidence, and fought aggressively to get maximum compensation. Insurance companies know Big Al doesn’t settle cheap.

WHAT YOUR COLTON CAR ACCIDENT CASE IS WORTH
Insurance companies will offer you $5,000 when your case is worth $50,000. They’ll offer $25,000 when you deserve $250,000. Attorney Big Al fights for every dollar you’re owed under California law.
You Can Recover Compensation For:
Medical Bills: Emergency room visits, hospitalization, surgery, physical therapy, chiropractic care, prescription medications, medical equipment, and future treatment. Whether you received care at Centinela Hospital Medical Center (555 E Hardy Street), Daniel Freeman Memorial Hospital (333 N Prairie Avenue), or UCLA Medical Center, those bills should be paid by the at-fault driver’s insurance.
Lost Income: Full compensation for missed work plus loss of future earning capacity if injuries prevent you from returning to your previous job or force you into lower-paying work. This is especially critical for Inglewood’s working families who depend on every paycheck.
Pain & Suffering: Money for physical pain you’ve endured and will continue experiencing, emotional trauma from the accident, anxiety, depression, loss of sleep, and the overall impact on your quality of life.
Property Damage: Complete vehicle repair or replacement costs, rental car expenses while your car was in the shop, and personal property damaged in the crash.
Future Medical Care: If you need ongoing treatment, rehabilitation, in-home care, or home modifications due to permanent disabilities, those future costs are part of your claim today—not tomorrow.

How Insurance Companies Try to Cheat You
Insurance companies aren’t your friends. They’re billion-dollar corporations that profit by denying, delaying, and devaluing claims.
Their Playbook:
💰 Quick Lowball Settlements: They contact you within days—before you know how serious your injuries are—hoping you’ll take quick money and disappear. Once you sign that release, you can never get more.
⏰ Endless Delays: “We need more information” or “we’re still investigating” for months, hoping you’ll get desperate and accept whatever they offer.
🎤 Recorded Statements: They use friendly questions to get you to say things they’ll twist later to argue you were at fault or your injuries aren’t serious.
🩺 Their Own Doctors: They send you to physicians who work for them regularly and minimize your condition in their reports.
👉 Blame the Victim: Even when you’re clearly not at fault, they’ll find ways to argue you share blame to reduce what they pay.
📱 Social Media Surveillance: They search Facebook and Instagram for posts or photos they can use to claim you’re not really hurt.
Big Al has been fighting these tactics in the Superior Court of California, County of San Bernardino for over 15 years. He knows every trick they use, and he knows how to beat them.
WHAT TO DO AFTER A COLTON CAR ACCIDENT
1. Get Safe & Call 911
Move your vehicle out of traffic if possible, but don’t leave the scene. Call 911 even for minor accidents – you need a police report, and adrenaline can mask serious injuries that won’t show symptoms for hours or days.
2. Document Everything
- Take photos of all vehicles, the accident scene, street signs, traffic lights, and any visible injuries
- Get names and phone numbers of all witnesses – they may disappear before police arrive
- Write down exactly how the accident happened while it’s fresh in your memory
- Don’t sign anything except police documents or your own insurance paperwork
3. Exchange Information
Get the other driver’s name, insurance company, policy number, driver’s license number, and license plate. Give them the same information, but don’t discuss who was at fault.
4. Seek Immediate Medical Care
See a doctor immediately, even if you feel fine. Many serious injuries don’t show symptoms for 24-48 hours, and insurance companies will claim any delay means you weren’t really hurt. Get checked out at:
Kaiser Permanente Fontana Medical Center – 9961 Sierra Ave, Fontana, CA 92335
Arrowhead Regional Medical Center – 400 N Pepper Ave, Colton, CA 92324
Community Hospital of San Bernardino – 1805 Medical Center Dr, San Bernardino, CA 92411
St. Bernardine Medical Center – 2101 N Waterman Ave, San Bernardino, CA 92404
5. Never Admit Fault
Don’t say “I’m sorry” or “I didn’t see you” – anything you say can be used against you later. Be polite and cooperative with police, but don’t speculate about what happened.
6. Call Attorney Big Al Before Talking to Insurance
The other driver’s insurance company will contact you within hours, often while you’re still in the emergency room. They want your statement before you understand your injuries or talk to a lawyer. Call Big Al first.

Frequently Asked Questions for COLTON Accident Victims
How long do I have to file a claim in California?
Generally two years from the accident date for personal injury, but only six months for claims against government entities like Metro buses. Evidence disappears fast—surveillance footage erases after 30-90 days, witnesses forget details. Act immediately.
What if I was partially at fault for the accident?
You can still recover substantial compensation. California’s “comparative fault” rule reduces your recovery by your percentage of fault. If you’re 20% at fault, you get 80% of damages. Big Al fights to minimize your assigned fault percentage.
What if the other driver has no insurance or fled the scene?
Your Uninsured Motorist (UM) coverage can pay your damages. Many California drivers don’t realize they have this—it’s automatically included in most policies. We’ll review your policy to identify all available coverage.
How much does it cost to hire Attorney Big Al?
Nothing upfront. We work on contingency—typically one-third if we win. No upfront costs, no hourly billing, no hidden fees. If we don’t win, you owe nothing.
What if I can't afford medical treatment right now?
We connect clients with doctors throughout Inglewood and LA County who treat on a medical lien basis—they wait for payment until your case resolves. You get care now without upfront costs.
Should I accept the insurance company's settlement offer?
Not without talking to us first. Once you sign a release, you can never get more money—even if your injuries are worse than you thought. Let us review any offer. The consultation is free.
How long will my case take?
Most cases settle within 6-18 months. Serious injury cases may take longer. You shouldn’t settle until you’ve reached maximum medical improvement and know the full extent of permanent injuries.
Will I have to go to court?
Most cases settle through negotiation. However, Big Al is fully prepared to take your case to the Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles if necessary. Insurance companies know this—that’s why they take his demands seriously.
