Injuries such as back injuries, traumatic brain injuries, burns, and spinal cord injuries may qualify, depending on how the accident occurred and who is responsible. Our team assesses each case to determine whether a workers’ compensation, a personal injury, or a combination claim is appropriate.
In California, workers’ compensation provides medical care and wage replacement for work-related injuries, but it may not cover all types of damages. If a third party is at fault or if negligence caused non-work injuries, a separate personal injury claim may be possible.
California generally allows you to file a claim within a specific time frame known as a statute of limitations. The exact deadline depends on the claim type, so a prompt review helps protect your rights.
Many cases settle through negotiations, mediation, or arbitration before trial. However, if fair compensation cannot be reached, pursuing litigation gives you a chance to present evidence in court.
Bring identification, medical records, doctor’s notes, wage information, and any reports about the incident. Also include photos, witness contacts, and a written summary of how the injury occurred.
Many injury claims are handled on a contingency fee basis, meaning there are no upfront fees. If we win, our fees are paid from the settlement or judgment; if not, you owe nothing.
Yes. If you’re unhappy with your current attorney, you can request to transfer your case to another attorney. We strive to make transitions smooth and ensure your case continues to move forward.
Case duration varies by complexity, medical issues, and insurer cooperation. Some cases resolve within months, while others take longer if court proceedings are required.
California follows a comparative negligence standard. If you were partly at fault, your recovery may be reduced. Our team works to limit liability while pursuing full compensation for the other party.
Insurance settlements may cover medical care now and in the future, but future needs should be considered in the negotiation. We help clients plan for ongoing care and potential long-term bills.
