Healthcare provider negligence cases
California generally gives you two years from the date of injury to file a personal injury claim. If a government entity — like a city road crew or public bus — was involved, that window can shrink to as little as six months, so acting sooner matters.
California follows pure comparative fault, meaning you can still recover compensation even if you shared some blame for the accident. Your recovery is simply reduced by your percentage of fault, not eliminated.
In ordinary injury cases, California places no limit on non-economic damages such as pain, suffering, and loss of enjoyment of life. This differs from some other states and can matter significantly in serious injury cases.
Attorneys in our network work on contingency, so legal fees only come out of a settlement or award. There's no upfront cost to get a case evaluated.
