Healthcare provider negligence cases
California law generally gives you two years from the date of an injury to file a claim, though claims against a government entity can require notice in as little as six months. Waiting too long can mean losing your right to recover anything at all.
Under California's pure comparative fault rule, you can still seek compensation even if you were partly responsible for what happened. Your recovery may be reduced by your share of fault, but it isn't automatically barred.
In an ordinary injury case, California doesn't cap the amount you can seek for pain, suffering, and other non-economic losses. That means your claim isn't limited to medical bills and lost wages alone.
Attorneys in our network work on contingency, so you don't pay out of pocket to get advice or representation. Fees only come out of money recovered on your behalf.
