Questions
What should I do immediately after a car accident?
Ensure safety, call emergency services, document the scene, exchange information with other parties, and contact our firm as soon as possible.
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in California?
California's statute of limitations is two years for personal injury cases and three years for property damage claims from the accident date.
Can I still file a claim if the accident was partially my fault?
California follows comparative negligence rules, meaning you can still recover damages even if partially at fault, though compensation may be reduced.
What if the other driver doesn't have insurance?
We can help pursue uninsured/underinsured motorist claims through your own insurance policy while protecting your coverage rates.
Do I need a lawyer for minor car accidents?
Even minor accidents can have hidden injuries and long-term consequences. Our attorneys help ensure fair compensation for all damages.
How are attorney fees structured for personal injury cases?
We work on contingency fees - you pay nothing unless we win your case, with fees coming from the settlement amount.
