Answers To Your Questions

Deadlines

How Long Do I Have To File A Personal Injury Claim In California?

In most California personal injury cases you have two years from the date of the injury to file a lawsuit. Claims against a government entity must be filed within six months, so contact us as soon as possible.

Compensation

How Much Is Pain And Suffering In California?

There is no fixed formula. Pain and suffering is valued based on the severity of your injuries, length of recovery, permanent limitations, and how the injury has changed your daily life.

Legal Fees

How Much Money Is This Going To Cost Me?

Nothing out of pocket. We work on a contingency fee — you pay us only if we recover compensation for you.

Case Value

What Is My Case Worth?

Case value depends on medical bills, lost income, future care, property damage, and pain and suffering. We give you an honest assessment during your free case review.

Insurance

Should I Talk To The Insurance Company?

Speak with an attorney first. Adjusters record statements and use them to reduce or deny your claim. We handle all communication on your behalf.

Representation

Do I Need A Personal Injury Attorney?

Injured victims represented by an attorney typically recover significantly more than those who negotiate alone. We handle the deadlines, evidence, and negotiations for you.

Claims

How Can I Tell If I Have A Valid Claim?

If someone else's negligence caused your injury and you suffered damages, you likely have a claim. A free consultation is the fastest way to know for sure.

Trial

Do I Need To Go To Court For My Personal Injury Case?

Most cases settle without trial. If the insurance company refuses to pay what your case is worth, our trial-ready attorneys are fully prepared to take it to court.
