How do I know if I have a personal injury case?

If you were hurt because someone else acted carelessly, such as in a car crash, fall, or worksite accident, you may have a valid claim. A quick free consultation can confirm your options.

What does a personal injury lawyer do?

We investigate your accident, collect evidence, negotiate with insurance companies, and, if necessary, take your case to court to recover full compensation.

How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in California?

Generally, two years from the date of the accident, but some claims, like against a government agency, have shorter deadlines.

How much is my case worth?

That depends on your injuries, medical costs, lost wages, and long-term effects. We calculate both economic and non-economic damages to pursue the maximum possible recovery.

What if I didn’t go to the hospital immediately?

You can still have a valid claim even if you didn’t seek medical care right away. Many injuries don’t show symptoms for hours or days. What matters is that you see a doctor as soon as you notice pain and document the connection between the accident and your symptoms.

Can I sue if I was partly at fault?

Yes. California uses a comparative negligence system, which means you can still recover compensation even if you share some responsibility. Your settlement is simply reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you were 20% at fault, you could still recover 80% of your damages.
