Questions
What should I do immediately after a car accident?
Prioritize safety, call emergency services, document the scene, and contact our firm before speaking with insurance companies to protect your legal rights.
How much does a personal injury lawyer cost?
We work on a contingency fee basis - you pay nothing unless we win your case, with fees typically 33-40% of recovered compensation.
What compensation can I recover for accident injuries?
You may claim medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, property damage, and future rehabilitation costs through your personal injury claim.
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim?
California's statute of limitations is generally two years from the accident date, though exceptions apply for government claims and delayed injury discovery.
What if I share fault for the accident?
California's pure comparative fault system allows partial compensation - your recovery reduces by your percentage of fault, even if you're 99% responsible.
How do I prove liability in a slip and fall case?
We establish liability by proving property owners knew or should have known about hazardous conditions through maintenance records, incident reports, and witness testimony.
