Most personal injury claims in California must be filed within two years of the injury. Some exceptions apply, such as cases involving government entities.
You may recover medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, and pain and suffering. The amount depends on the specifics.
While hiring a lawyer is not required, having legal help can improve outcomes by handling paperwork, negotiations, and deadlines.
Liability is determined by whether the other party owed you a duty of care, breached that duty, and caused your injuries.
Bring medical records, incident reports, photos, and insurance information to your consultation.
Some cases settle without going to trial, but others proceed to court if a fair settlement cannot be reached.
Lawyer fees in personal injury are typically based on a contingency fee, meaning payment comes from a portion of any recovery.
California uses comparative negligence; you may still recover a portion of your damages, depending on your share of fault.
If the other party is uninsured, you may still be able to pursue compensation through your own uninsured motorist coverage or other sources.
Case timelines vary, but many personal injury matters resolve within months to a couple of years depending on complexity.
