Fault in California is typically determined based on negligence and responsibility for the accident. Evidence such as police reports, witness statements, and medical records is used to establish who was at fault. A lawyer can help gather and present this evidence effectively.
You may recover medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, and non-economic damages like pain and suffering, depending on the case. A firm can assess all potential losses and help pursue appropriate compensation.
In California, most personal injury claims must be filed within two years of the accident, with some exceptions. It is important to start a claim promptly to protect evidence and preserve rights.

Many personal injury cases are handled on a contingency basis, meaning you pay nothing upfront and fees are earned only if recovery is obtained. You will be informed of costs and potential expenses during the initial consultation.
