Fault is determined through a combination of police reports, witness statements, road conditions, and available video. In California, comparative fault rules can affect your recovery if you share responsibility for the crash. A lawyer helps evaluate liability and protect your rights.
If the other driver lacks insurance, you may still recover through uninsured motorist coverage or other avenues. An attorney can review your policy and advise on the best path to pursue compensation.
Hiring a lawyer typically does not increase your insurance premiums. Most personal injury lawyers work on a contingency basis, meaning fees are paid from a winning settlement or judgment rather than upfront.
Costs can include attorney fees, court costs, and expert fees, but many personal injury cases are handled on contingency. We discuss fees upfront and only collect if you recover compensation.
The timeline varies by case complexity, injuries, and court schedules. Some cases settle in months, while others may take years if litigation is involved. We aim to resolve efficiently while protecting your interests.
