California generally gives you two years from the date of injury to file a claim, but that window can shrink to as little as six months if a government entity is involved. Waiting too long can mean losing your right to recover anything at all.
California follows pure comparative fault, so even if you're partly responsible for what happened, you can still recover compensation β just reduced by your share of fault. This means it's worth exploring your claim even if you're unsure how the accident happened.
California doesn't cap non-economic damages like pain and suffering in typical injury cases. That matters because your recovery isn't limited to just medical bills and lost wages.
Attorneys in our network work on contingency, meaning they only get paid if you get paid. There's no retainer, no hourly fee, and no financial risk in finding out where you stand.
