You may recover medical expenses, lost wages, future medical costs, and pain and suffering. The amount depends on the severity of injuries, evidence, and liability. We evaluate all eligible damages, including rehabilitation costs and out-of-pocket expenses.
In California, you typically have two years from the date of injury to file a personal injury claim, but some situations may shorten or extend this period. Prompt action helps preserve evidence and strengthen your case. Missing deadlines can limit recovery opportunities.
While you can file a claim on your own, a lawyer helps value the case, navigate insurance negotiations, and avoid missteps that could reduce or bar recovery. We provide guidance and handle communications on your behalf.
Bring identification, details of the incident, photos or videos, medical records, bills, and any notices you received. If possible, provide a copy of the incident report and contact information for witnesses.
Liability depends on whether the property owner owed a duty of care, breached that duty, and caused your injuries. Evidence of hazard, notice, and causation are key factors in determining fault.
If the incident occurred at a business or store, the owner or manager may be responsible for hazards. Report the incident, seek medical attention, and contact us to evaluate your options and next steps.
Your health plan and the at-fault party’s insurer may cover medical expenses. We help you document costs and pursue appropriate compensation for medical treatment, prescriptions, and related expenses.
Insurance companies may seek to settle quickly or minimize liability. Do not provide recorded statements without legal advice. We help you respond appropriately and protect your rights.
A contingency fee means you pay no upfront attorney fees; the attorney’s fee is paid from the recovery if you win or settle. If there is no recovery, you owe nothing. We will explain the terms clearly during your consultation.
Case timelines vary based on injuries, evidence, and court schedules. Some matters settle within months, while others may take longer if they proceed to trial. We work to move your case efficiently while safeguarding your interests.
