Understand Personal Injury Law
Our personal injury attorneys believe in keeping clients informed. Here are some of the basic principles of personal injury law in California:
What Is a Personal Injury Claim?
If you've suffered an injury from a car accident or other incident caused by another person's negligence or recklessness, you can make a personal injury claim. This claim allows the injured party to go to civil court in order to achieve a legal solution for all damages and losses associated with the injury.
California Statute of Limitations
The statute of limitations is the amount of time you have to file a lawsuit following your personal injury. California's statute of limitations in personal injury cases is two years. If the injury is not discovered right away, you have one year from the date of diagnosis to file your lawsuit.

Personal Injury FAQ
Is it worth it to hire a personal injury lawyer?
Yes. A personal injury attorney can make all the difference when pursuing compensation for your injuries. Insurance companies are likely to offer you a low settlement, but our lawyers can call upon our network of professionals to determine the extent of your injuries and prove that you're owed more. Hiring an attorney also affords peace of mind—you can rest assured that our team will handle the legalese and make sure all paperwork is filed correctly and on time.
How should I handle the insurance companies?
Don't. Let us handle them for you. Insurance companies will likely contact you so they can twist your words and use them against you. Even something as simple as an apology can hurt your case. Insurance adjusters will do anything they can to minimize the amount they pay you. If you find yourself on a call with one, politely end the call and contact our San Diego attorneys.
How can I help build my case?
While our team will collect evidence like witness testimonies and security footage on your behalf, you can help us build a compelling case by attending doctor appointments, even if you think your injuries aren't that serious. Paperwork from doctors can prove the extent of your injuries, result in higher compensation, and show the insurance companies that your injuries can be linked to the incident. Additionally, you should obtain a copy of the police report and take photos of your injuries and any vehicles involved.
How can I maximize my compensation?
Our San Diego personal injury attorneys will go after every penny you deserve. To help us in this endeavor, collect proof of your lost wages, keep track of your medical bills, and stay off social media for the time being. If your social media profiles show that you're doing fine after an accident, your case can become compromised. If you go to trial, be sure to put your best face forward so the judge and jury view you as a reputable person.
Our San Diego attorneys have been selected as California Super Lawyers every year from 2020 to 2024.
