In California, personal injury claims typically must be filed within two years of the injury. Some exceptions may apply, so it’s important to speak with an attorney soon after the incident. The sooner you connect, the better you can protect evidence and preserve deadlines.
Most slip and fall cases involve two main timelines: the filing deadline and the deadline for submitting supporting evidence. You should seek a free consultation promptly to understand your specific deadline and to begin gathering medical records, receipts, and witness information.
Damages can include medical expenses, lost wages, and non-economic losses such as pain and suffering. The amount depends on injury severity, prognosis, and how the incident affected your daily life.
Having an attorney can help you navigate communications with insurers, gather necessary documents, and pursue your rights. An attorney can also determine whether a lawsuit is appropriate for your situation.
Liability is determined by whether the property owner failed to maintain safe conditions and whether that failure caused your injuries. Evidence such as photos, surveillance video, and witness statements often plays a key role.
Bring any notes about how the fall occurred, photos of the hazard, medical records, doctor recommendations, and details about missed work or other losses.
Many cases settle before trial, but some proceed to court. We prepare your case for all possibilities while striving for a fair settlement.
Fees are commonly structured as contingent, meaning you pay attorney costs only if you obtain compensation. We will explain any costs upfront during the consultation.
Partial fault can affect your recovery under California’s comparative negligence rules. We assess each factor to maximize your eligible compensation.
Most firms operate on a contingency fee basis, where fees are paid from the settlement or verdict. You’ll receive a clear written agreement outlining costs before we begin.
