In California, you typically have two years from the date of the injury to file a personal injury claim. There are exceptions for minors and certain government claims. Starting promptly helps preserve evidence and keeps options open as your case develops.

You can file a claim on your own, but a lawyer can help with complex negotiations and documentation. An attorney also helps ensure your rights are protected throughout the process and can address issues like liability, damages, and insurance coverage.
We work on contingency, which means you typically pay a percentage of the recovery if we win. There are no upfront fees for evaluating your case and starting the process.
Damages can include medical bills, therapy costs, wage loss, property damage, and pain and suffering. Future medical needs and long term impact should be considered to pursue full recovery.
California follows pure comparative fault, so your recovery may be reduced by your share of fault. If you are partially at fault, you can still recover some compensation depending on liability percentage.
Bring incident details, the police report, medical records, receipts, and insurance documents. Also bring notes about conversations with insurance adjusters and any prior settlements or complaints.
Timeline varies based on case complexity, injuries, and documentation. Simple cases may resolve within months; more complex matters can take longer.
If the other driver has no insurance, you may consider uninsured motorist coverage or your own policy. We will review policy details and explain next steps to pursue available remedies.
