Questions
What is the statute of limitations for personal injury claims in California?
California allows two years from injury date for bodily injury claims and three years for property damage. Consult an attorney immediately to preserve evidence.
How does comparative fault affect my injury case?
California's pure comparative fault system reduces compensation by your assigned fault percentage. Our attorneys minimize client fault attribution to maximize recovery.
Can I recover damages if partially at fault for my accident?
Yes, California allows recovery even with partial fault. Your compensation will decrease proportionally to your assigned fault percentage in the accident.
What should I do immediately after a motorcycle accident?
Seek medical care, document the scene with photos, obtain witness contact information, and contact our attorneys before speaking with insurance companies.
Do you handle wrongful death cases?
Yes, we represent families seeking compensation for lost financial support and emotional damages resulting from negligence-caused deaths within California's two-year filing window.
Are consultations free?
Yes, we offer free initial consultations to evaluate your case and explain legal options without obligation.
