In California, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims is generally two years from the date of injury, though certain cases may have shorter or longer deadlines. It’s important to act promptly because missed deadlines can bar your claim. A Cerritos attorney can help you determine the exact timeframe for your situation.
Damages include medical expenses, lost wages, rehabilitation costs, and pain and suffering. You may also be eligible for future care costs and loss of earning capacity, depending on the injury and prognosis. An attorney can help quantify and pursue these losses.
While you may handle minor claims on your own, spinal cord injury cases often involve complex liability and insurance issues. An attorney can help gather evidence, negotiate with insurers, and advocate for fair compensation.
Liability is typically determined by reviewing evidence, including police reports, eyewitness accounts, and expert analysis. Proving fault helps establish who pays for medical bills, therapy, and other damages.
Some cases settle before trial, while others proceed to court. Our goal is to obtain a fair settlement if possible, but we prepare for trial if needed to protect your rights.
Gather medical records, imaging, bills, wage information, and any correspondence with insurers. Also collect photos of injuries and the accident scene if available.

If you cannot travel, many consultations can be conducted by phone or video call. We can review documents electronically and visit you if necessary.
Typically, California personal injury lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing upfront and a percentage of the recovery is paid only if we win or settle your case.
