COMMON QUESTIONS
Frequently Asked Questions
Get medical attention immediately, even if you feel okay. Call 911 to get police to the scene. Take photos of the crash scene, your injuries, and all vehicle damage. Get witness contact information. Do NOT admit fault or give detailed statements to insurance companies before speaking with an attorney. Contact us as soon as possible to protect your rights.
Generally, you have 2 years from the accident date to file a personal injury lawsuit in California. However, if a government entity is involved (city, county, or Caltrans), you must file a claim within 6 months. Don't wait—evidence disappears, witnesses forget details, and deadlines are strict.
Yes. Hit-and-run accidents are common in California, but you still have legal options. Your Uninsured Motorist (UM) coverage can compensate you for injuries even if the driver is never found. We help investigate to identify the driver and pursue all available compensation sources.
California law requires motorcycle helmets but not bicycle helmets for adults. While helmet use may affect the extent of head injuries, it does NOT eliminate your right to compensation if another party was at fault. We handle cases involving riders with and without helmets.
Case value depends on injury severity, medical expenses, lost wages, future care needs, degree of fault, and insurance policy limits. Minor injury cases might settle for thousands; catastrophic injury cases involving brain damage, paralysis, or death can be worth millions. We provide honest case evaluations during free consultations.
