Healthcare provider negligence cases
California generally gives you two years from the date of injury to file a claim, but that window shrinks to as little as six months if a government entity was involved. Waiting too long can cost you the right to recover anything at all.
California follows pure comparative fault, meaning even if you were partly responsible for what happened, you can still recover compensation. Your award is simply reduced by your share of fault, not eliminated.
Unlike some states, California places no limit on non-economic damages like pain and suffering in ordinary injury cases. That means your recovery isn't artificially capped just because your losses go beyond medical bills.
Attorneys in our network work on contingency, so there's no fee unless they win or settle your case. This lets you get legal help without worrying about hourly rates or retainers.
