In California, you generally have two years to file a personal injury claim after a car crash, but some cases have different deadlines. If you are under 18, the time limits can vary, and certain circumstances may extend or shorten deadlines. Consulting an attorney early helps ensure you meet all deadlines and protect your rights.
You may be able to recover medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, and non-economic damages for pain and suffering. Compensation depends on fault, insurance coverage, and investigation results; an attorney can help maximize recovery.
Most car accident claims settle out of court, but some cases go to trial if a fair settlement cannot be reached. Our firm prepares thoroughly so you have options and confidence whether a settlement or trial occurs.
In many California personal injury matters, lawyers work on contingency, meaning you pay nothing upfront and fees are paid from a portion of the settlement or verdict. If we win, costs are covered from the recovery; if not, you owe nothing.
Look for a track record of handling car accident cases, clear communication, and a focus on your goals. Ask about fees, the approach to evidence, and how they stay in touch throughout the case.
If the other driver is uninsured, you may still recover through your own uninsured motorist coverage or through other liable parties. An attorney can help identify all sources of compensation and pursue the best available options.
California uses fault-based liability rules; drivers owe a duty of reasonable care. Evidence such as police reports, witness statements, and medical records determine fault and damages.
Bring any police report, medical bills, proof of income, photos from the scene, and your insurance information. Also bring details about the crash, your medical treatment, and any communications with insurance adjusters.
Many firms offer free consultations and work on contingency. During a complimentary meeting, you can learn about options and timelines without obligation.
