Frequently Asked Questions by Plaintiffs

Filing a personal injury lawsuit in California is no easy task, as there are multiple factors that influence a positive outcome for claimants. During a private consultation, our attorneys will explain the best legal strategies for pursuing compensation, while expanding on these frequently asked questions.

How Much is My Case Worth?

Defendants and their insurers will try and pay the bare minimum on claims. In order to seek full damages in your case, you need convincing evidence of both economic and non-economic losses. It must be proven that the defendant’s actions or inaction caused your injury, thereby reducing the quality and enjoyment of your life. Because each legal matter has its own facts and circumstances, there is no calculator for assessing the value of your case from the outset. However, attorneys can offer the settlement amounts obtained in earlier cases involving similar allegations and injuries.

Some elements that will affect the amount of compensation awarded includes:

  • Your age at the time of the injury
  • Whether you were partly at fault for the accident
  • The type and severity of bodily harm sustained
  • Prognosis for a full recovery
  • The amount of your medical and hospital expenses – past and future
  • Estimated loss of earnings because of your injury
  • If you suffered scarring, disfigurement or permanent disability  

What is the Statute of Limitations to file a claim in California?

Under California law, injury victims have two years from the date the incident occurred to file a claim for damages. This is known as the statute of limitations. In cases where a governmental entity is named one of the defendants, this time limit may be shortened to just six months.

Pursuing litigation in California is time-sensitive. If you wait too long and the statute runs out, you may no longer sue for your financial losses, pain and suffering. Don’t risk losing your right to compensation, call today for a no-obligation case review.   

How Long Will It Take to Settle My Lawsuit? 

Lawsuits  can be costly and time consuming for both parties, which is a great motivator for defendants to settle early. Plaintiffs who need to settle quickly can often do so, but at their own expense, as adjustors will pay pennies on the dollar. A good attorney will wait until clients have reached maximum medical improvement before attempting to negotiate a settlement. This enables your legal counsel to more accurately value your damages and the total value of your case, since your “recovery” is complete and you’re not likely to improve any further. This may delay the settlement process in some cases involving large damage awards.

Free Case Evaluation. No Fees Unless We Win Your Case.

It is our firm belief that finances must never stand in the way of justice. We routinely accept cases on a contingency basis. What this means is that clients are never required to pay legal fees until and unless we succeed in securing an award of financial compensation in their matter. Prospective clients who have been harmed through no fault of their own must never hesitate to pursue fairness just because they lack sufficient funds. We have the resources to finance your case, from start to finish. If we don’t win money on your behalf, we do not get paid. There is never any risk to you, the client, to receive unparalleled legal representation of the highest caliber.
