Fault in California is determined using comparative negligence. You can still recover even if you share some fault, but your compensation may be reduced. Our team reviews police reports, eyewitness accounts, and traffic laws to establish fault and maximize your recovery.
You can recover medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and in some cases property damage. Additional compensation for long-term care or rehabilitation may be pursued when necessary.
If the other driver lacks insurance, you may still have options through your own uninsured motorist coverage or a claim against a vehicle owner. We guide you through these options and help you seek fair compensation.
California typically gives two years to file a personal injury claim, but some situations shorten or extend deadlines. Prompt action is important for gathering evidence and preserving memories.
Bring documentation of injuries, medical visits and bills, police reports, photos from the scene, and any correspondence with insurance. A list of questions you want to cover in your free consultation helps us tailor our advice.
Most bicycle crash cases are settled without going to trial, but some may require court proceedings if a fair offer is not made. We prepare thoroughly to pursue a favorable outcome whether in settlement negotiations or in court.
Insurance companies focus on minimizing payouts; having an attorney ensures your medical needs and damages are fully documented. We review medical records, physician recommendations, and future care needs to build a strong claim.
Partial fault does not automatically bar compensation; the amount may be adjusted by your percentage of fault. We assess your case and explain how comparative negligence affects your award.
Fees are typically on a contingency basis, meaning you pay nothing upfront and only after we recover compensation. There are no hidden costs, and we provide transparent billing and regular case updates.
