A Trusted Personal Injury Resource in Sherman Oaks
One of the most eye-catching elements in personal injury lawyer advertising in California is the display of large settlements or verdicts — think billboards, TV spots, or online ads proudly touting “$5M recovered for our client!” or “Millions won — call now!”. At first glance, these figures may seem like simple proof of success, but a statement listing big settlements without clear context or disclaimers is misleading because it might suggest that every client gets a similar result, which is not accurate.Compensation after an injury often depends less on injury severity and more on the insurance policy limits of an at fault party. This can cap how much is realistically available, regardless of fault or total damages. Now ask yourself, how many people carry a multi million dollar insurance policy on a regular basis?
“Show Me the Money!”

AREAS OF PRACTICE
CAR ACCIDENTS
Car accidents are one of the most common causes of injury in California. With dense traffic across Los Angeles County, including Sherman Oaks, collisions happen daily and often leave victims unsure of their legal rights, insurance options, and next steps. California is an at-fault state, meaning the driver who caused the accident is responsible for damages. Injured victims may seek compensation through insurance claims or legal action. California also follows pure comparative negligence, allowing recovery even if the injured person was partially at fault.

How Much Is My Case Worth?”
When someone is injured in a California accident, one of the first questions they ask is: “How much is my case worth?”
What many people don’t realize is that the answer often has less to do with how serious the injuries are and more to do with a factor most injury victims never see coming — insurance policy limits.
Understanding policy limits is critical, because in many cases, they ultimately determine how much compensation is realistically available, regardless of fault or damages.
What Are Policy Limits?
A policy limit is the maximum amount an insurance company will pay under a particular insurance policy.
In a bodily injury claim, the at-fault party’s liability insurance sets a cap on what their insurer is required to pay for injuries they cause. Once that limit is reached, the insurance company has no further obligation, even if the injuries are severe.
In California, the most common policies involved are:
-
Auto liability insurance
-
Commercial policies
-
Homeowner or renter policies
California law currently requires drivers to carry minimum bodily injury limits of $30,000 per person and $60,000 per accident.
This means that one injured person may be limited to $30,000 total settlement and multiple injured people must split $60,000 total settlement.
Policy limits play a decisive role in bodily injury settlements in California. While injuries, liability, and long-term impact are crucial, insurance coverage often determines what is actually recoverable. So reality, the available insurance coverage often places a hard ceiling on recovery. Even if a claim is “worth” far more based on injuries alone.
