Most spinal cord injury cases in California have a two-year statute of limitations, but there are exceptions depending on who was involved and government entities. Time can vary if a minor is involved or if a government agency is responsible. Consulting early helps protect your rights and avoids missed deadlines.
Compensation can include medical expenses, future treatment costs, lost wages, diminished earning capacity, pain and suffering, and in some cases loss of enjoyment of life. Each situation is different, and a careful evaluation is essential to pursue the right damages.
Many personal injury lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing upfront and fees are paid from the settlement or verdict. We discuss costs at the outset and provide transparent explanations of what to expect.
Bring medical records, accident reports, photos or videos, insurance information, and a list of witnesses. A brief timeline of events and a summary of your symptoms helps us evaluate the claim more efficiently.

Trials are possible when a fair settlement cannot be reached or liability is disputed. Our team prepares thoroughly to present the strongest case in court if needed.
California generally allows two years to file a personal injury claim, but special rules can apply. Early consultation helps identify deadlines and any exceptions that may affect your case.
