Most motor vehicle accident cases with Ling Law Group operate on a contingency basis, so there are no upfront attorney fees. You pay only if we recover compensation for you.
Damages can include medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, and pain and suffering. In some cases, future medical costs and rehabilitation may also be recoverable.
In California, you generally have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury claim. There are exceptions for minors or government-related claims that can affect deadlines.
Bring a valid photo ID, the accident report, any police report numbers, medical records, proof of income, insurance information, and photos or notes from the scene.
Our fee is a percentage of the recovered amount; you typically pay nothing upfront. If we do not obtain compensation, there is no attorney fee.
Many cases settle before trial, but some do proceed to court. We prepare for trial while actively pursuing favorable settlements whenever possible.
Case duration varies with injury severity and complexity. Minor injuries may resolve in months, while more serious cases can take longer to reach resolution.
If the other driver lacks insurance, you may rely on your own uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage or other sources to recover damages. We can advise on the best path.
California uses comparative fault. If you are partially at fault, your compensation may be reduced proportionally, but you may still recover a portion of your damages.
