California uses a comparative fault system, which means your recovery can be reduced if you share liability. Our team examines the facts, records, and policies to determine each party’s level of responsibility and to pursue fair compensation.
Most car accident cases are handled on a contingency basis, meaning you pay nothing upfront and fees come from any settlement or court award. We’ll discuss costs during your free consultation.
In California, statute of limitations for personal injury is generally two years. Filing earlier helps preserve evidence and strengthens your claim. If the case involves a government entity, different timelines may apply.
Damages can include medical expenses, lost wages, property repair, and non-economic losses such as pain and suffering and loss of enjoyment of life.
It can be risky to speak with an insurer without legal guidance. Insurance adjusters may attempt to settle for less than your claim is worth. It’s best to consult with an attorney before speaking with them.
Most cases can be resolved without a trial through negotiations, settlements, or alternative dispute resolution. Trial is only pursued if a fair settlement can’t be reached.
Partial fault doesn’t bar a claim in California. You may still recover under comparative negligence rules, though your share of recovery may be reduced.
When choosing a car accident attorney, consider experience with California personal injury law, a clear communication style, a transparent fee structure, and a track record of results. Meet for a consultation to discuss your case.
