Failure to exercise reasonable care, resulting in harm; in California, fault is determined by the duty of care, breach, causation, and damages.
California follows pure comparative negligence, allowing you to recover damages minus your share of fault.
Economic and non-economic losses, including medical bills, lost wages, vehicle repair costs, and pain and suffering.
In California, most personal injury claims must be filed within two years of the accident, or the right to sue may be lost.
Options include settling with insurers, filing a claim, or pursuing a lawsuit; each path has potential timelines, costs, and outcomes.
If fault is clear and injuries are minor, a straightforward claim can resolve quickly and with less expense.
Solid medical records and documented losses support a timely settlement without protracted disputes.

California generally allows two years to file a personal injury claim from the date of the accident, with some exceptions. The clock can be shorter for certain government claims, so early consultation helps protect your rights. There are also deadlines for submitting insurance claims that you should not miss.
You may be entitled to economic damages such as medical bills, lost wages, and vehicle repairs, plus non economic damages like pain and suffering. The amount depends on injuries, impact on daily life, and the evidence you can provide.
While you can file a claim on your own, an attorney can help gather evidence, navigate insurance strategies, and pursue the full compensation you deserve. A lawyer also handles deadlines and negotiations so you can focus on recovery.
Fault is determined by who owed a duty of care, whether that duty was breached, and whether the breach caused your injuries. California uses comparative fault rules to assign percentages of responsibility.
Settlement negotiations start with a demand package and continue through negotiations with insurers. Our team handles communication, documentation, and strategy to maximize your chances of a fair settlement.
If a settlement cannot be reached, the case may proceed to court. Our team prepares comprehensive filings and handles discovery, witness testimony, and trial logistics.
Medical bills can be paid from settlements or judgments, but during the case you may need ongoing medical care. Some providers allow liens or arrangements until funds are recovered, depending on the case.
Most personal injury cases are handled on a contingency basis, meaning you pay nothing upfront and fees are paid from a portion of the recovery. There are no out of pocket costs unless you win or settle your case.
Case duration varies with complexity, injuries, and court timelines. Simple claims may resolve in a few months, while more complex cases can take longer. Our team aims to move the process efficiently while protecting your rights.
