You may recover medical expenses, wage loss, and pain and suffering if fault is established. The amount depends on injuries, liability, and coverage.
In California, you typically have two years to file a personal injury claim, starting from the date of injury. There are exceptions for minor injuries or cases involving governmental entities, so consult an attorney for specifics.
Do not admit fault or discuss details with the other driver’s insurer. Let your attorney handle communications and negotiation to protect your rights.
Bring the police report, medical records, proof of treatment, photos from the scene, repair estimates, and your insurance information. Bring any correspondence from insurers.
Even in minor accidents, injuries or long-term medical costs can arise. An attorney can help preserve evidence, explain options, and ensure proper resolution.
Fault is proven through police reports, witness statements, photos, and medical records. We assess liability, cite relevant case law, and establish the value of your claim.
California uses comparative negligence rules. If you are partially at fault, your recovery may be reduced in proportion to your share of fault.
If you can’t miss work, we coordinate appointments around your schedule and explore options for receiving care without missing essential income.
Many car accident claims are settled without going to trial. Trials occur when settlement is not possible or liability is disputed, but we prepare as if a trial could happen.
Lawyer fees are typically contingency-based in personal injury cases. You pay nothing upfront, and fees are a percentage of the recovery if you win or settle. If there is no recovery, there is no fee.
