Personal injury law covers harm caused by someone else’s negligence or intentional wrongdoing. If another party’s actions caused your injuries, you may be entitled to compensation.
The process typically includes case evaluation, gathering evidence, negotiating with insurers, and, if needed, filing a lawsuit and pursuing a settlement or trial.
In California, a personal injury claim seeks to recover damages for injuries, medical costs, lost income, and other losses resulting from an accident.

California has specific deadlines to file a claim, which vary by case. It is important to consult an attorney early to avoid missing deadlines. An attorney can help you determine the right filing window for your situation.
Many personal injury services operate on a contingency basis, meaning fees are paid from the settlement or award. You typically owe nothing upfront. We will discuss the fee arrangement during your consultation.
If an offer seems low, an attorney can negotiate for a higher amount by presenting additional medical records, expert opinions, and documentation of all losses. Insurers often respond to professional negotiation.
Not every case goes to trial. Many are resolved through settlement, but we prepare every case as if it could go to court to protect your rights and options. This approach helps ensure you have options regardless of how the process unfolds.
Case timelines vary based on complexity, medical needs, and cooperation from involved parties. Some cases settle quickly, while others take longer. We’ll keep you informed about milestones.
You may recover medical expenses, lost wages, rehabilitation costs, and non-economic damages such as pain and suffering, depending on the specifics of your case. Your attorney can help you quantify and document these damages for negotiations or trial.
Even for minor injuries, consulting an attorney can help ensure your rights are protected and that you pursue appropriate compensation. A lawyer can assess liability and coverage and guide next steps.
Contingency fees mean you pay a percentage of the recovery, and nothing upfront. If the case settles or you win, the fee is paid from the award. We discuss exact terms during your free consultation.
