Immediately after an accident, seek medical care if needed and contact law enforcement. Preserve evidence such as photos of the scene, vehicle damage, and injuries. When safe, obtain the other driver’s information and report the crash to your insurer.
Fault is determined based on laws, evidence, and witness statements. Insurance companies may review police reports, traffic signals, and the actions of all drivers involved. Our team analyzes the evidence to establish who is responsible.
Damages include medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. You may also recover property damage costs and future medical needs. We help quantify both economic and non-economic losses.
While you can file a claim on your own, a lawyer helps protect your rights, negotiates with insurers, and can pursue litigation if a fair settlement isn’t offered.
In California, the general deadline is two years from the crash date for personal injury claims. Some exceptions apply, so it’s important to consult promptly.
A contingency fee means you pay nothing upfront; the attorney’s fee is a percentage of any amount recovered. You only pay if the case resolves in your favor.
Insurance adjusters may ask for statements after a crash. It’s best to speak carefully, share only basic information, and let your attorney handle detailed discussions.
Medical bills are typically represented as part of damages. If you’re undergoing treatment, we track all costs and liens to ensure they’re properly accounted for in settlement negotiations.
