In California, the general statute of limitations for personal injury is two years from the date of the injury. Some circumstances can change this timeline, so a prompt legal review helps protect your rights and ensure you don’t miss critical deadlines. If a government entity is involved or if you have a special situation, timelines can vary, making timely expert guidance important.

An attorney can help you understand options and protect your interests. At Ling Law Group, we offer a no-pressure consult to review your case and explain potential paths forward.
Possible recoveries include medical expenses, lost wages, rehabilitation costs, and non-economic damages like pain and suffering. In some cases, compensation for future medical needs and reduced earning capacity may be available. We help identify all potential sources of recovery and calculate a fair value for your claim.
Most pedestrian accident cases are handled on a contingency basis, meaning you pay no upfront fees and our fees come from a portion of any recovery. If there is no settlement or verdict, you typically pay nothing. This arrangement aligns our interests with your goal of maximizing compensation.
If the at-fault driver lacks insurance, potential options include uninsured motorist coverage or pursuing recovery from other liable parties. We evaluate all avenues and explain the best path for your situation. Our team will outline realistic expectations based on the specifics of your case.
Strong evidence includes police reports, medical records, witness statements, photos, and video footage. Documentation of injuries, treatment plans, and recovered milestones strengthens the claim. Expert opinions may be used to support fault or damages where appropriate.
Case timelines vary with case complexity, injury severity, and settlement willingness. Some cases settle quickly, while others take longer if fault is disputed or injuries are extensive. We strive to move your case efficiently while protecting your rights.
California follows a pure comparative negligence rule, so you can still recover some damages even if you share fault. The amount may be reduced by your percentage of fault. We work to maximize your recovery by presenting strong evidence of fault and damages. Your share of responsibility is carefully analyzed in every case.
