How Much Does It Cost to Hire an Accident Lawyer?
We work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing upfront. You only pay legal fees if we successfully win your case or obtain a settlement.
How Long Do I Have to File a Personal Injury Claim in California?
In California, the statute of limitations for personal injury cases is two years from the date of the accident. For property damage claims, you have three years. It’s important to consult with a lawyer promptly to avoid missing critical deadlines.
What Types of Compensation Can I Receive?
You may be entitled to several types of compensation, including:
- Medical expenses (current and future)
- Lost wages and loss of earning capacity
- Property damage
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
What If I’m Partially at Fault for the Accident?
California follows a comparative negligence rule, meaning you can still recover compensation even if you were partially at fault. However, your compensation will be reduced by the percentage of your fault.
How Long Will It Take to Resolve My Case?
The timeline for resolving a case depends on various factors, such as the complexity of the accident, severity of injuries, and whether the case settles or goes to trial. Some cases resolve in a few months, while others may take longer.
Will My Case Go to Trial?
Many personal injury cases are settled outside of court through negotiations. However, if a fair settlement cannot be reached, our attorneys are prepared to take your case to trial and fight for the compensation you deserve.
