Personal injury law helps those harmed by another party’s negligence seek compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and other losses.
Our approach centers on listening to your story, evaluating your damages, and pursuing a fair outcome through negotiation or litigation as needed.
A personal injury claim arises when someone is hurt due to another person’s careless or wrongful conduct. The goal is to restore you to your pre injury position as much as possible, through financial compensation.
The core elements include duty, breach, causation, and damages, followed by evidence gathering, demand letters, negotiations, and, if needed, a formal lawsuit.
Below are common terms you may encounter in a personal injury matter and what they mean.
Damages are monetary compensation awarded to cover medical bills, wages, property loss, and non economic harm such as pain and suffering.
Liability refers to legal responsibility for causing the injury, whether through negligence, recklessness, or strict liability.
Negligence means failing to exercise reasonable care under the circumstances, leading to someone else’s injury.
This is the deadline by which you must file a claim or lawsuit after an injury, varying by state.
Clients may settle, pursue mediation, or file a lawsuit. We help you understand risks, costs, and likely outcomes of each path.
In some cases, minor injuries with straightforward liability can be resolved through negotiations without a lengthy trial.
A targeted approach can speed settlement and reduce expenses if liability is undisputed.

Most personal injury attorneys work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing upfront and only after we recover money for you. Ling Law Group offers a free initial consultation in Los Altos to assess your claim.
After an accident, seek medical attention and document everything. Contact a local attorney promptly to preserve evidence and meet deadlines.
In California, most personal injury cases have a statute of limitations of two years from the date of injury, though some types of cases have different deadlines. It’s best to consult an attorney as soon as possible to protect your rights.
Some cases settle before trial, but many require a formal lawsuit and litigation. Our firm handles both negotiation and trial as needed.
You may recover medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, and non economic damages such as pain and suffering. The exact amount depends on injuries and liability.
During a settlement, medical bills may be paid from funds recovered or reimbursed from the settlement. We coordinate with your healthcare providers.
Contingency fees are typically a percentage of any recovery. If there is no recovery, you may not owe fees.
If the other party is at fault, liability should be established; we pursue evidence and expert opinions to support your claim.
Even if an insurer offers a settlement, speaking with a lawyer helps you evaluate if the offer fairly compensates your losses.
Ling Law Group provides local Los Altos representation, handles case evaluation, negotiation, and litigation, and keeps you informed every step of the way.
