Many firms work on a contingency basis, meaning you pay nothing upfront and only after you recover compensation. If we take your case, we may advance costs and recover them from your settlement.
You may recover medical expenses, lost wages, future medical costs, property damage, and non-economic damages like pain and suffering. The amount depends on the specifics of your injuries and evidence.
Timeframes vary by case complexity, injuries, and court availability. Some cases settle in months, others may take years if tried.
California uses pure comparative negligence, which means your recovery is reduced by your share of fault. If you’re 20% at fault, your damages are reduced by 20%.
Many cases settle out of court. You may not need to go to trial, but you still have a right to pursue a formal resolution if needed.
Medical providers may bill you while your claim is ongoing. A settlement or verdict can cover these costs.
