In California, you typically have two years from the date of injury to file a personal injury claim. Certain circumstances can alter this timeline, so it’s wise to consult a local attorney for specifics.
You may recover medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, and compensation for pain and suffering. A thorough calculation helps ensure nothing is overlooked.
Bring any medical records, police report, insurance information, photos from the crash, and a list of damages. Include notes on how injuries affect your daily life and any wage loss documentation.
California uses comparative negligence rules to assign fault; each party’s share reduces their recovery. Evidence such as witness statements, video, and expert testimony helps establish responsibility.
Many cases settle before trial, but some proceed to court if a fair settlement cannot be reached. We prepare for trial while seeking efficient resolution through negotiations.
Contingency fees mean you pay nothing upfront; the attorney’s fee is a percentage of the recovery. If there is no recovery, you typically owe nothing; discuss the agreement details with your attorney.
California’s statute of limitations for personal injury is generally two years from the date of injury. There are exceptions, so consult an attorney to confirm your timeline.
The duration varies with case complexity, evidence, and settlement opportunities; some resolve in months, others take longer. A free consultation helps outline a realistic timeline.
Yes, you can potentially recover even if you share fault under California’s comparative negligence rules. We review all aspects of fault and seek to maximize your compensation accordingly.
