Most personal injury cases work on a contingency basis, meaning you pay no upfront fees and fees are paid from the recovery. This arrangement helps you pursue your claim without an immediate financial burden. In most situations, you will know the fee percentage in advance and receive a clear explanation of any costs involved.
Compensation can include medical bills, lost wages, property damage, and non-economic losses like pain and suffering. Depending on the case, you may also recover future medical costs and ongoing care needs as part of the settlement.
Caseloads vary, but many claims settle within a few months to a year. Some cases may take longer if evidence is complex or a trial is required to reach a fair outcome.
The majority of personal injury claims settle before trial. A smaller portion proceed to court when insurers dispute liability or the offered settlement is insufficient.
Bring incident details, medical records, bills, police or incident reports, photos, contact information, and any insurance details to your free consultation to help us evaluate your claim.
Fault often hinges on evidence from police reports, eyewitness accounts, and the scene. We analyze these factors under California laws to establish responsibility and share how compensation may be affected by comparative negligence.
In most cases, yes. A contingency arrangement means you pay nothing upfront; fees are paid from the settlement or award. Your attorney will discuss the exact terms before starting.
Switching lawyers is possible if you’re unhappy with representation. We can coordinate a smooth transition and ensure the new attorney has the information needed to continue the case.
If the other party denies responsibility, we gather solid evidence to prove fault. California uses comparative negligence rules, so you may still recover a portion of your losses if you share some fault.
