Questions
What should I do immediately after a car accident?
Seek medical attention, document the scene, exchange information with the other driver, and contact Shea & Shea for legal guidance.
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim?
California's statute of limitations is generally two years from the injury date. Consult our attorneys promptly to preserve evidence.
What compensation can I recover for a spinal cord injury?
Medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and long-term care costs. Our attorneys maximize compensation for life-altering injuries.
How are Shea & Shea's legal fees structured?
We work on a contingency fee basis—you pay no upfront costs. Fees are collected only if we win your case.
