Dental Malpractice Help in San Bernardino County

San Bernardino County is the largest county by area in the continental United States, spanning the Inland Empire valley cities up through the High Desert. Wherever you had treatment in the county, California's dental malpractice laws apply the same way.

Communities We Cover

This includes San Bernardino, Rancho Cucamonga, Fontana, Ontario, Upland, Chino, Chino Hills, Redlands, Rialto, Colton, Highland, Yucaipa, Victorville, Hesperia, Apple Valley, and the surrounding Inland Empire and High Desert communities.

Filing in San Bernardino County

Dental malpractice lawsuits in San Bernardino County are generally filed in the San Bernardino County Superior Court, which operates multiple courthouse locations across the county, including in San Bernardino, Rancho Cucamonga, and Victorville, serving the High Desert. Where a case is filed can depend on where the treatment occurred and other procedural factors.

Same California law, applied locally

The statute of limitations, the 90-day pre-suit notice requirement, and MICRA's damages framework described throughout this site apply the same way in San Bernardino County as anywhere else in California. The High Desert's distance from the valley floor can also mean patients travel between local providers and larger practices in the valley cities, which is worth keeping in mind when gathering records from more than one office.

Getting Your Records

If your treatment took place at a dental office or clinic in San Bernardino County, the process for requesting your dental records in writing is the same as anywhere in California — see what to do after a dental injury for a step-by-step overview.
