First, seek medical attention and report the incident to local authorities. Then contact our firm to start building your claim. We will review your injuries, gather evidence, and explain your options in clear terms.
In California, the deadline is generally two years for personal injury claims. Some exceptions apply, so it’s best to speak with a lawyer. We can review your situation to determine any deadlines and preserve your rights.
Recovery may include medical expenses, lost wages, and compensation for pain and suffering. The exact amount depends on medical evidence, the impact on daily life, and the ability to prove fault.
Fault is typically shown through police reports, witness statements, and physical evidence such as skid marks or vehicle damage. California uses comparative negligence rules that may reduce recovery if you share some fault for the accident.
While it is possible to file without a lawyer, having representation often improves the chance of a fair settlement. A lawyer can handle documentation, negotiations, deadlines, and court filings.
