Frequently Asked Questions

Our firm works on a contingency fee basis, which means you pay no upfront costs and no attorney fees unless we win your case. If we do not recover compensation for you, you owe us nothing. The initial consultation is always free.
In California, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims from an auto collision is two years from the date of the accident (California Code of Civil Procedure Section 335.1). For property damage, you have three years. However, it is important to contact an attorney as soon as possible to preserve evidence and protect your rights.
First, ensure your safety and call 911 if anyone is injured. Exchange information with the other driver, take photos of the scene and vehicle damage, get contact information from witnesses, and seek medical attention even if you feel fine. Do not admit fault or give a recorded statement to the other driver's insurance company. Contact an attorney before speaking with any insurance adjusters.
Yes. California follows a pure comparative negligence rule, meaning you can recover compensation even if you were partially at fault for the accident. Your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you were 20% at fault and your damages are $100,000, you could still recover $80,000.
You may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses (past and future), lost wages and earning capacity, pain and suffering, emotional distress, property damage to your vehicle, loss of enjoyment of life, and in some cases, punitive damages. Every case is different, and a free consultation can help determine what your claim may be worth.
