Personal Injury Attorneys in California

Free Consultations. No Fees Unless We Win.

Severe injuries can disrupt every aspect of your life, from mounting medical bills and lost income to long-term physical and emotional challenges. If someone else’s negligence has left you seriously injured or caused the death of a loved one, you should not carry that burden alone.

Responsible parties rarely accept fault without pressure. Our personal injury attorneys pursue accountability and work to recover full and fair compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and other damages. There are no upfront fees — we are only paid if we recover compensation on your behalf.

It begins with a free case review, where we explain your rights and discuss your legal options.

What Compensation May Be Available?

In most cases, a person prevailing in a personal injury case against the responsible party may be entitled to what is called “compensatory damages.” This form of financial compensation is intended to make up for the losses an individual suffered due to their injuries.

Compensatory damages come in two forms: economic damages, which address quantifiable monetary loss, and non-economic damages, which account for intangible losses.

Economic Damages

Non-Economic Damages
  • Medical expenses: Doctor visits, hospital stays, emergency room care, surgical procedures, diagnostic testing (X-rays, CT scans, MRIs), prescription medications, rehabilitation, physical therapy, medical equipment, and assistive devices.
  • Lost wages and employment benefits: Income and benefits lost while recovering from your injuries.
  • Loss of future earning capacity: Reduced ability to earn income due to long-term or permanent impairment.
  • Out-of-pocket expenses: Costs related to child care, household services, home or vehicle modifications, transportation to medical appointments, and other necessary accommodations.
  • Funeral and burial expenses: In wrongful death cases, reasonable funeral and burial costs may be recoverable.
  • Physical pain and suffering
  • Emotional distress and psychological trauma
  • Loss of enjoyment of life
  • Loss of consortium (for spouses or domestic partners)
  • Permanent disability or disfigurement
  • Loss of companionship or support (in wrongful death cases)

Every case is different. The value of a personal injury claim depends on the severity of the injuries, the long-term impact, and the available insurance coverage. Our attorneys evaluate the full scope of your losses before pursuing compensation.

Do Not Wait to Protect Your Rights

Strict filing deadlines apply in California.

Victims of serious injuries should be aware that strict filing deadlines apply to personal injury claims in California:

  • General personal injury claims: In most cases, you have two years from the date of the injury to file a lawsuit.
  • Medical malpractice claims: You generally have one year from the date you discovered — or reasonably should have discovered — the injury, but no more than three years from the date of the injury itself, whichever occurs first.

Certain exceptions may apply, including cases involving:

  • Intentional concealment or fraud
  • A foreign object left in the body after surgery (such as gauze, sponges, or surgical instruments)
  • Injuries to a child under six years of age

Claims Against Government Entities

If your injury involves a city, county, or California state agency, additional procedures apply.

Before filing a lawsuit, you must first submit a written administrative claim to the appropriate government agency. This claim must generally be filed within six months of the date of the injury.

  • The agency has 45 days to accept or reject the claim.
  • If the claim is rejected, you typically have six months from the date of the rejection notice to file a lawsuit.
  • If the agency does not respond within 45 days, different deadlines may apply.

Because these time limits vary depending on the facts of your case, speaking with an experienced personal injury attorney as soon as possible is critical to protecting your rights.
