Common Questions About Car Accident Claims

  • What should I do after a car accident in California?

    Seek medical care, document the accident, and avoid speaking with insurance companies until you understand your rights.

  • How can a lawyer help with my car accident insurance claim?

    An attorney protects you from unfair tactics, gathers evidence, and negotiates for full compensation.

  • Do I have to pay upfront legal fees?

    Most car accident cases are handled on a contingency basis, meaning you pay nothing unless compensation is recovered.

  • How long do I have to file a claim?

    California generally allows two years from the date of injury, but earlier action helps preserve evidence and strengthen your case.
