Start by ensuring everyone’s safety and calling emergency services if needed. Gather information from all involved parties and document the scene. When appropriate, file a police report and obtain a copy to support your claim.
In California, you generally have two years from the date of the crash to file a personal injury claim. Some cases may have shorter windows, and there are exceptions for minors and government claims. Consulting with a local attorney helps ensure you don’t miss deadlines.
While many cases settle out of court, some do go to trial. A lawyer can advocate for your rights and present evidence, but most cases are resolved through negotiation or mediation.
Settlements typically reflect medical costs, lost wages, property damage, and non-economic losses. We work to document all losses and provide a fair value based on your situation.
In most cases you pay nothing upfront. If we win, a portion of the settlement covers attorney fees. If there is no recovery, you owe nothing.
California follows comparative fault rules. If you are partly at fault, your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault.
Case duration varies with complexity, injuries, and settlement timing. Some cases resolve in months, others take longer if litigation is necessary.
Bring a police report, medical records, proof of income, repair estimates, photos from the scene, and any correspondence with insurers.
You can, but having a lawyer often leads to stronger negotiations and better results.
