In California, statutes of limitations generally require filing within two years of the injury, but some cases have shorter or longer deadlines. A consultation can confirm your timeline.
Most recoverable compensation includes medical expenses, lost wages, and non-economic damages like pain and suffering.
While you may handle some routine steps yourself, an attorney can help maximize recovery, negotiate with insurers, and ensure deadlines are met.
Fault is determined by evidence showing who caused the injury and how. Insurance adjusters may consider liability, comparative negligence, and contributory factors.
Bring identification, medical records, bills, and details of the incident to your initial meeting.
Many cases settle out of court, but some proceed to trial if settlement is not possible.
Attorney fees vary, but many firms work on a contingency basis, meaning you pay nothing unless recovery is obtained.
If you’re unhappy with your attorney, discuss concerns promptly; many firms will transition you to another attorney with minimal disruption.
Case duration depends on complexity, evidence, and court availability, but settlements can occur within months while some trials take longer.
