Questions
What should I do immediately after a personal injury accident?
Seek medical attention, document the scene, exchange information with involved parties, and contact a lawyer before speaking to insurers to protect your rights.
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in California?
California’s statute of limitations is two years from the injury date, but exceptions apply for delayed discovery or government claims.
Does Arnold Law Firm handle cases outside Sacramento?
We serve clients statewide, including Los Angeles, and have experience in multi-jurisdictional cases through partnerships with national legal networks.
What types of compensation can I recover?
Economic damages (medical bills, lost wages) and non-economic damages (pain, emotional distress) are recoverable, with potential punitive damages in egregious cases.
How are attorney fees structured?
We work on a contingency fee basis—you pay nothing unless we win your case, with fees a percentage of the recovery.
Can I still file a claim if I’m partially at fault?
Yes, California’s pure comparative negligence rule allows recovery reduced by your percentage of fault, ensuring partial compensation even if you share blame.
