California follows a pure comparative fault rule, meaning you can still recover compensation even if you were partly responsible for the accident. Your recovery is simply reduced by your share of fault, not eliminated.
Unlike some states, California places no cap on non-economic damages β like pain and suffering β in most ordinary injury cases. This matters when an injury affects your daily life in ways medical bills alone don't capture.
We work on contingency, so you don't pay upfront and you owe nothing in attorney fees unless there's a settlement or award in your favor.
