You can start without a lawyer, but having a legal professional can help you understand your rights and deadlines. An attorney can also gather evidence and negotiate with insurance companies on your behalf.
In California, statutes of limitations typically require filing within two years of the injury, though some cases have different time limits. Prompt consultation helps preserve evidence and options.
Common recoverable damages include medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and in some cases future medical costs. A lawyer can help include all applicable damages and liens.
Medical bills are usually paid from the settlement or judgment. You may receive treatment under lien arrangements or negotiate medical liens as part of the claim.
