Have Questions?
What do I need to prove to get compensation for a personal injury?
If you have been injured in an accident because of another person’s negligent or reckless behavior, you may be eligible to pursue compensation. To get compensation from a person, government agency or company, you must be able to prove:
How the harm was caused
That the other party is liable (at fault)
The extent of your damages
Legal responsibility, or liability, does not require you to prove that the person or organization at fault intended to harm you. Proving negligence — conduct that was unsafe and unreasonable under the circumstances — can be enough to demonstrate liability.
What types of compensation can I seek for a personal injury?
If you are injured due to another party’s negligence, there are various types of damages you may be entitled to, including:
Medical expenses, both current and future
Lost income, including future diminished earning capacity
Property damage
Pain and suffering
Loss of companionship
Emotional distress
The exact compensation will depend on the specific losses resulting from your injury. Our experienced personal injury attorneys will fight to recover full and fair compensation for all your injury-related damages.
Do I have to talk to an insurance investigator?
No, you are not required to provide any sort of statement to an insurance investigator, adjuster or attorney after an accident. Insurance companies may try to obtain a statement from you, but you have the right to decline this request or have your attorney handle communication. Speaking directly with an insurance company could unintentionally harm your claim, so it’s advisable to let your attorney handle the communication.
Does California have a deadline for filing personal injury claims?
Yes, California has statutory deadlines for filing personal injury claims and lawsuits. For most personal injury matters, you must file your lawsuit within two years from the date of the injury or accident. However, there are some exceptions. For example, claims against government entities have even shorter deadlines.
To avoid missing your deadline, it is critical to discuss your case with a qualified attorney as soon as possible after an accident. Our legal team can help ensure your rights are protected.
