You might be surprised at the variety of situations where personal injuries occur. The following are just a few common instances that result in personal injuries:
Vehicle accidents (motorcycle, truck, car, pedestrian and rideshare accidents)
Bicycle accidents
Slips and falls
Workplace incidents
Medical malpractice
It's important to note that these are just a few examples. Each case is different and the severity of injuries can range dramatically. Whether it's broken bones, spinal cord damage, traumatic brain injuries, or even emotional distress, a personal injury attorney can help you navigate the legal landscape and stand up for your rights.
In California, the statute of limitations for most personal injury cases is two years from the date the injury or accident occurred. This means you must bring a civil action to recover damages within two years of the accident or injury (California Code of Civil Procedure Section 335.1). If you're unsure about this timeline or if it applies to your case, I'm here to help. Understanding these legal deadlines is crucial to ensuring you don’t lose your right to compensation.
Here in California, we operate under a fault system when it comes to personal injury cases. Simply put, the person who caused your injury or accident—the at-fault party—is financially responsible for the damages you've suffered. Now, it's important to note that California follows what we call a "pure comparative negligence" rule. So, if you were partially at fault for the accident, don't fret—you can still seek compensation. However, the total amount you're awarded will be reduced by the percentage of fault assigned to you. This means that even if you were 99% at fault, technically, you could still recover 1% of the damages.
Navigating these waters can be tricky, and that's where I come in. I'm here to help you through the complex claims process, ensuring you receive the fair financial compensation you deserve. Remember, you have two years from the date of the accident or injury to file a civil action.
If you’ve been hurt due to someone else's carelessness, it's crucial to reach out to a personal injury law firm. We'll protect your rights and make sure you get the compensation you're entitled to.

When you're seeking a personal injury attorney, it's important to ask the right questions. Here are four key ones to consider:
How much experience do you have in handling personal injury cases? Look for an attorney who has a successful track record in this area of law.
What is your approach to handling personal injury cases? You want an attorney who is proactive, dedicated, and willing to fight for your rights.
How do you communicate with your clients? Good communication is essential. Make sure your attorney will keep you informed and feel comfortable answering any questions you may have.
What fees do you charge for your services? Most personal injury attorneys work on a contingency fee basis, meaning they only get paid if they win your case. Be sure to understand how this works before proceeding.
Although these questions are important to ask when selecting a personal injury attorney, you should also use your own judgment as to whether or not the lawyer is the right fit for you. Consider their level of experience, reputation, communication style, and any other factors that may be important to you. Ultimately, it’s essential that you find an attorney who understands your needs and will work hard with the goal to get you the best possible outcome.
