In California, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims is generally two years from the date of the injury, though some cases have exceptions. Acting promptly increases your options.
Most cases work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay attorney fees only if you recover compensation. You may also owe costs if you win, but your attorney will discuss this with you.
Damages may include medical expenses, lost wages, rehabilitation, and pain and suffering, depending on the case and injuries.
Many truck accident cases settle before trial, but some may proceed to court if a fair settlement cannot be reached.
Case duration depends on factors like injury severity, evidence availability, and court schedules. Some cases resolve in months; others take years.
Bring photos from the scene, police report numbers, medical records, a list of injuries, and any correspondence with insurers.
