Seek Medical Attention: Your health is paramount. Even if your injuries seem minor, some symptoms may appear later.
Document Everything: Take photos of your injuries, the accident scene, and any property damage. Keep records of any medical visits and expenses.

I understand the financial concerns that come with legal representation. That’s why I work on a contingency fee basis for personal injury cases. This means you don’t pay any upfront fees. My fee is a percentage of the settlement or verdict amount we recover on your behalf. Our initial consultation is free, allowing us to discuss your case without any financial obligation on your part.
California law stipulates a statute of limitations for personal injury claims, generally two years from the date of the injury. However, there are exceptions that might extend or shorten this period. Prompt action is crucial to preserving your rights. Contact me as soon as possible to ensure your claim is filed within the necessary time frame.
The compensation awarded in a personal injury case can vary widely depending on your circumstances. Generally, you may be entitled to recover costs for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, property damage, and sometimes punitive damages to punish particularly reckless behavior. Each case is unique, and during our free initial consultation, I will give you a clearer picture of what compensation you might expect based on the specifics of your situation.
Yes, California follows a pure "comparative fault" rule, which means you can still pursue a case even if you were partially or mostly at fault for the accident. However, the compensation you may receive will be reduced by your percentage of fault. It’s crucial to have skilled legal representation to ensure that fault is accurately assessed and that you receive the maximum compensation possible under the law.
The duration of a personal injury case can vary greatly. Some cases may be resolved in a few months, while more difficult cases could take several years. The factors affecting the timeline include the extent of your injuries, the clarity of fault, and the insurance company’s willingness to settle. I will work tirelessly to resolve your case as efficiently as possible while striving to achieve the best outcome for you.
If your injury occurred while you were at work, you might be entitled to workers' compensation benefits. However, there could also be a third-party liability component to your case if another party’s negligence contributed to your injury. It’s essential to discuss your situation with me to explore all the avenues of compensation and know that you’re fully supported during your recovery.
If you or a loved one has been injured due to someone else's negligence, don't face this challenge alone. At Antaramian Law, APC, I am here to support and fight for you every step of the way.
