Cars, trucks, motorcycles, buses, rideshare (Uber/Lyft), e-scooters, bicycles, pedestrian-vehicle, hit-and-run, drunk driving, distracted driving, and commercial vehicle cases. Each category has specific liability rules and insurance coverage layers.
Two years from the accident date for personal injury under Code of Civil Procedure section 335.1. Three years for property damage only under section 338(c). Government entity claims need a tort claim notice within six months under Government Code section 911.2.
File against your own uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage. California Insurance Code section 11580.2 requires UM coverage on every policy unless waived in writing. UM also covers hit-and-run accidents.
Soft-tissue cases settle $10,000 to $35,000. Cases with surgery run $75,000 to $300,000. Catastrophic injury cases (TBI, paralysis, death) reach seven and eight figures. Case value depends on injury severity, treatment duration, lost wages, and available insurance coverage.
Yes, if you have any treatment beyond an ER visit or any time off work. Soft-tissue injuries often become chronic, and insurance companies undervalue minor cases by 60 to 80% when there is no lawyer involved. The free consultation costs nothing.
California is a pure comparative negligence state. You can recover damages even if you were 99% at fault, with your recovery reduced by your percentage of fault. There is no bar at any fault percentage.
Most cases settle 6 to 18 months after treatment concludes. Cases requiring litigation add 12 to 24 months. We do not negotiate before maximum medical improvement so the full damages are documented.
Medical bills (past and future), lost wages, lost earning capacity, property damage, pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, and (in drunk driving or extreme conduct cases) punitive damages under Civil Code section 3294.
No. Politely decline any recorded statement and refer all communication to your attorney. The adjuster's job is to reduce your claim, not help you. You have no legal duty to talk to the other driver's insurer.
Contingency. No fee unless we recover. Standard 33 and 1/3 percent before suit, 40% after suit. Case costs come out of the settlement. Free consultation.
