Understanding Your Personal Injury Case

What to Do Immediately After an Accident

The actions you take in the hours and days following an accident can significantly impact your case. Here's what you should do:

Seek Medical Attention: Even if you feel fine, some injuries don't manifest immediately. Document all injuries with medical professionals.
Document Everything: Take photos of the scene, vehicles, injuries, and property damage. Get contact information from witnesses.
File a Police Report: For vehicle accidents, always call law enforcement and ensure an official report is filed.
Don't Give Recorded Statements: Insurance adjusters may contact you quickly. Politely decline to give recorded statements without legal representation.
Keep All Records: Save medical bills, receipts, pay stubs showing lost wages, and any correspondence related to the accident.
Contact an Attorney: The sooner you have legal representation, the better protected your rights will be.

Common Causes of Personal Injury Accidents

Understanding the cause of your accident helps establish liability. Common causes include:

Vehicle Accidents

• Distracted driving (texting, phone use)
• Speeding and reckless driving
• Driver fatigue (especially trucks)
• Driving under the influence
• Failure to yield or follow traffic laws
• Poor vehicle maintenance

Premises Liability

• Wet or slippery floors without warning
• Uneven surfaces and tripping hazards
• Poor lighting in stairwells or parking lots
• Inadequate security leading to assault
• Falling objects in stores
• Swimming pool accidents

Types of Damages You Can Recover

California law allows injured parties to seek compensation for both economic and non-economic damages:

                        Economic Damages (Quantifiable Financial Losses)
                        • Medical expenses (past and future treatment, surgeries, therapy, medications)
• Lost wages and diminished earning capacity
• Property damage (vehicle repairs or replacement)
• Home modifications for disabilities
• Out-of-pocket expenses related to your injury

                    

                        Non-Economic Damages (Subjective Losses)
                        • Pain and suffering
• Emotional distress and mental anguish
• Loss of enjoyment of life
• Disfigurement and scarring
• Loss of consortium (impact on relationships)

                    

How Long Do I Have to File?

California has strict time limits called "statutes of limitations" for filing personal injury lawsuits:

Personal Injury: Generally 2 years from the date of injury
Property Damage: 3 years from the date of damage
Government Claims: Only 6 months to file a claim against a government entity
Medical Malpractice: 1 year from discovery or 3 years from injury, whichever comes first

Missing these deadlines typically means losing your right to compensation forever. Don't delay in seeking legal advice.

Dealing with Insurance Companies

Insurance adjusters are trained to minimize payouts. They may employ various tactics to reduce or deny your claim:

Common Insurance Company Tactics:

Quick Settlement Offers: Offering low settlements before you know the full extent of your injuries
Requesting Recorded Statements: Using your words against you to deny or minimize claims
Suggesting You Don't Need a Lawyer: Implying that legal representation will reduce your settlement
Delaying Tactics: Dragging out the process hoping you'll accept less out of desperation
Disputing Liability: Claiming you were partially or fully at fault
Questioning Medical Necessity: Arguing that treatments were unnecessary or excessive

Having an experienced attorney levels the playing field and protects you from these tactics.

Choosing the Right Personal Injury Attorney

Understanding the difference between practice models and knowing what questions to ask can help you make an informed decision about your legal representation.

Understanding Different Practice Models

Personal injury law firms operate under different business models. Each has distinct advantages depending on your needs and preferences.

High-Volume Firms

Large operations handling thousands of cases through advertising-driven intake models.

Primary contact is typically a case manager or paralegal, not the attorney
Standardized processes designed for efficiency across many cases
May experience staff turnover requiring you to re-explain your situation

Boutique/Solo Practice

Experienced attorneys personally handling a selective caseload with direct client relationships.

Direct access to the attorney handling your case throughout the entire process
Customized legal strategy tailored to your specific circumstances and goals
Selective caseload ensures thorough attention to each client's needs

The key difference: High-volume firms excel at processing straightforward cases efficiently through standardized systems. Boutique practices prioritize personalized attention, direct attorney relationships, and customized strategy. Consider which approach better fits your needs and communication preferences.

Essential Questions to Ask During Your Consultation

The consultation is your opportunity to evaluate whether an attorney is right for you. Here are the most important questions to ask:

                            About Your Case
                            "Will YOU personally handle my case, or will it be assigned to other attorneys or staff?" Get clarity on who you'll actually work with throughout your case.
"How many cases like mine have you handled?" Experience with your specific type of injury matters for strategy and negotiation.
"What challenges do you anticipate in my case?" Honest attorneys discuss both strengths and potential obstacles upfront.

                        

                            About Communication
                            "How often will you update me, and what's the best way to reach you with questions?" Establish clear communication expectations from the start.
"How quickly do you typically respond to client inquiries?" Same day? 24 hours? A week? Pin down specific timeframes.

                        

                            About Fees & Timeline
                            "What is your contingency fee percentage, and are there any other fees?" Standard is 33-40%, but ask about administrative fees or case costs.
"How long do cases like mine typically take?" Get realistic timelines—beware of guarantees about quick resolutions.
"Will my case likely settle or go to trial?" Most settle, but understand their trial experience and approach.

                        

Pay Attention to How They Answer

Beyond the answers themselves, notice whether the attorney provides direct, specific responses or vague generalities. Do they listen carefully to your concerns? Do they explain legal concepts clearly? Do they seem genuinely interested in your case, or are you being rushed through a standard pitch?

Trust your instincts—the attorney-client relationship requires confidence and open communication. If something feels off during the consultation, that feeling likely won't improve once you've signed the agreement.

Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common legal questions

How much does it cost to hire you?

For personal injury cases, I work on a contingency fee basis—meaning you pay no upfront costs and no attorney fees unless I successfully recover compensation for you. My fee is a percentage of the settlement or verdict, so my success is directly tied to yours. For business law matters, I offer flexible fee arrangements including hourly rates and flat fees depending on the nature of the work. I'll discuss all fees transparently during our free consultation.

What should I bring to my consultation?

Bring any documents related to your case: police reports, medical records, photos of injuries or property damage, insurance correspondence, contracts, or other relevant paperwork. However, don't let missing documents delay your consultation—I can help you gather what's needed. The most important thing is to schedule the consultation as soon as possible to protect your rights.

How long will my case take?

Every case is different. Simple cases with clear liability and willing insurance companies might settle in a few months. More complex cases involving serious injuries, disputed liability, or multiple parties can take a year or more. I'll give you a realistic timeline during our consultation based on the specifics of your situation. My goal is always to resolve your case as efficiently as possible while maximizing your recovery.

Will my case go to trial?

Most personal injury cases settle before trial—often through negotiation or mediation. However, I prepare every case as if it will go to trial, which actually strengthens our negotiating position. If the insurance company refuses to offer fair compensation, I'm fully prepared to take your case to court and fight for what you deserve in front of a jury.

Should I talk to the insurance company?

You should notify your own insurance company of the accident, but I strongly advise against giving recorded statements or discussing the details of your case with the other party's insurance company before consulting with an attorney. Insurance adjusters are trained to get information they can use to minimize or deny your claim. Let me handle all communications with insurance companies to protect your rights and maximize your recovery.

What if I was partially at fault?

California follows a "pure comparative negligence" rule, which means you can still recover damages even if you were partially at fault—your compensation is simply reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you're found 20% at fault and your damages are $100,000, you can recover $80,000. Don't assume you have no case just because you share some responsibility. Call me to discuss your situation.

How often will you communicate with me?

I believe in regular, proactive communication. You'll receive updates whenever there's meaningful progress in your case, and I return all calls and emails within one business day—often the same day. You'll have my direct phone number and email, and when you reach out, you'll speak with me directly, not a paralegal or case manager. You're never left wondering about the status of your case.

Do you handle cases outside of Los Angeles?

Yes. While my office is located in Los Angeles, I represent clients throughout Southern California and can handle cases anywhere in the state. Modern technology allows me to communicate effectively with clients regardless of location. If you're unable to travel to my office, I can arrange phone or video consultations, and in some cases, I can meet you at your home or another convenient location.
