Frequently Asked Questions

What can we do for you?

We help people who have been injured because of someone else’s negligence. This includes handling insurance claims, gathering evidence, negotiating settlements, and—if necessary—representing you in court. Our goal is to protect your rights and help you recover the compensation you need and deserve to heal and move forward.

Do I have a personal injury case?

You may have a valid personal injury claim in California if:

  • You were injured in an accident

  • Another person or entity was at fault

  • Your injury resulted in medical bills, lost income, or pain and suffering

Even if you’re unsure, a free consultation with us can help clarify your options.

How long do I have to file a personal injury claim?

In most cases, California law gives you two years from the date of the injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. However, some cases—such as claims against government entities—have much shorter deadlines. Speaking with us as soon as possible helps protect your right to compensation.

How much does it cost to hire you?

We  work on a contingency fee basis, meaning:

  • No upfront costs

  • No legal fees unless we win your case

  • Fees are paid as a percentage of the settlement or verdict

This allows you to focus on your recovery without financial stress.

What types of compensation can I recover?

Depending on your case, you may be entitled to compensation for:

  • Medical expenses (current and future)

  • Lost wages and loss of earning capacity

  • Pain and suffering

  • Emotional distress

  • Property damage

  • Wrongful death damages (for surviving family members)

We can help calculate the full value of your claim.

What if I was partially at fault for the accident?

California follows a pure comparative negligence rule. This means you can still recover compensation even if you were partially responsible for the accident. Your compensation will simply be calculated based on your percentage of fault. 

How long does a personal injury case take?

Every case is different. Some claims resolve quickly, while others may take longer depending on:

  • The severity of your injuries

  • The complexity of the case

  • Whether the insurance company cooperates

  • Whether the case goes to trial

We work carefully but efficiently, always prioritizing your well-being and long-term recovery.

 

Will I have to go to court?

Most personal injury cases settle without going to trial in California. However, if the insurance company does not offer a fair settlement, we are fully prepared to take your case to court to fight for what you deserve.

Should I talk to the insurance company after an accident?

It’s understandable to feel overwhelmed after an accident. Insurance companies may contact you quickly, but their goal is often to minimize payouts. Before giving a recorded statement or accepting a settlement, it’s wise to speak with us so that we can protect your interests.

What should I do after an accident?

If you’ve been injured, try to:

  1. Seek medical care right away

  2. Document the accident with photos and witness information

  3. Keep records of medical bills and missed work

  4. Avoid discussing the accident on social media

  5. Contact a personal injury lawyer for guidance

 

What if I can’t afford medical treatment?

You’re not alone in this concern. In many cases, We can help connect you with medical providers who agree to wait for payment until your case is resolved.

  • Handle complex legal and insurance issues

  • Relieve stress during a difficult time

What Makes Our Firm Different?

Unlike many large California personal injury firms, we don’t pass clients off to various so called case managers, who in many cases don't have adequate education, training, or experience. Many large California personal injury firms are often more concerned with extending their profit margins then providing you with qualified knowledge, skills, and experience required to effectively, and competently handle you case. You'll  have direct access to your attorney, real answers to your questions, and honest updates throughout your case at all times.

We Treat You Like a Person — Not a Case Number

At our firm, you’re never just another file. We take the time to listen to your story, understand how the injury has affected your life, and tailor our legal strategy to your unique situation. Compassion and respect guide everything we do.

We Focus on Healing, Not Just Settlements

Your recovery comes first. We help connect clients with trusted medical providers, handle communication with insurance companies, and manage the legal burden so you can focus on getting better—physically and emotionally.

We Prepare Every Case Like It’s Going to Trial

Insurance companies know which law firms are willing to fight and which ones settle fast. We build strong, trial-ready cases from day one, which often leads to better settlements and ensures we’re ready if court becomes necessary.

No Upfront Fees. No Financial Pressure.

We work on a contingency fee basis, which means:

  • You pay nothing upfront

  • No legal fees unless we win

  • No risk in getting answers

This allows anyone in California to access strong legal representation, regardless of financial situation.

Deep Knowledge of California Personal Injury Law

California’s personal injury laws are complex and constantly evolving. Our firm understands local courts, state statutes, and insurance tactics—giving you an advantage whether your case involves a car accident, serious injury, or wrongful death.

Honest Guidance — Even When It’s Not What You Expect

We believe in transparency. If your case isn’t the right fit or the settlement offer is fair, we’ll tell you. Our advice is based on what’s best for you, not what benefits us.

A Reputation Built on Trust, Not Volume

We intentionally limit the number of cases we accept so every client receives the attention they deserve. Our success is built on long-term relationships, referrals, and real results—not quick settlements.

The Bottom Line

You deserve more than a billboard lawyer. You deserve a California personal injury firm that listens, cares, and fights for you like family.
