After a crash, call emergency services if someone is injured, exchange information, and seek medical attention. Then contact our firm for a thorough case review and guidance on next steps.
California uses a pure comparative fault system. The amount you can recover depends on your share of responsibility. We review the facts to determine liability and protect your rights.
In California, the statute of limitations for most personal injury cases is two years. Some exceptions apply, so timely filing is important.
Most cases are handled on a contingency basis; you typically pay nothing upfront, and fees are paid from a settlement or court award.
Not all cases go to trial. A favorable settlement or alternative resolution is common, but we prepare for trial when needed.
Settlement timelines vary, depending on complexity, insurer cooperation, and medical needs. We work to move toward a timely resolution.
For minor crashes, you may still benefit from legal guidance to ensure your rights are protected and medical treatment is properly documented.
If the at fault has limited or no coverage, you may have options through uninsured motorist coverage or other liable parties.
You can negotiate a settlement directly, but a lawyer can help maximize compensation and manage deadlines and paperwork.
