When you're hurt because of someone else's negligence — behind the wheel, on their premises, at the end of their dog's leash — California law puts the cost where it belongs. We make sure it stays there.
A personal injury claim arises when you suffer harm to your body or mind because of someone else's conduct — whether through ordinary negligence, gross negligence, recklessness, or intentional misconduct. In some situations, such as dog bites, the responsible party is strictly liable: their fault or intentions don't matter at all.
The insurance company on the other side starts working the moment the incident happens. So should your attorney. Contact us immediately so the adjusters never get to deal with you unrepresented.
After a crash: exchange information — plate, license, registration, proof of insurance — and involve the police if the other driver refuses. Photograph everything, and look for nearby cameras if you sense blame heading your way. Then call us before you call their insurer.
Restaurants and stores are liable when a spill or hazard is negligently left in place. The case often turns on surveillance video showing how long the hazard sat there — retain us early so that footage gets preserved, not overwritten.
Uplifted sidewalks are government claims — and government claims run on a much shorter filing clock than ordinary injury cases. Document your injuries and the exact location, and get counsel involved fast. We have extensive experience with these claims.
California holds dog owners strictly liable for bite injuries — no proof of negligence or prior bites required. Landowners can also be on the hook where they knew of the animal's dangerous propensities, though the law sets a high bar.
Injured by someone else's negligence? These answers cover the questions we hear most about pursuing compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

Once you're safe, photograph the scene, exchange information with the other driver, and report the accident to police if necessary. From there, we take over: we deal with the insurance companies and handle the claims process for you.
In California, you typically have two years from the date of injury. Miss the deadline and you may lose the right to compensation entirely — so speak with a lawyer as early as possible. Claims against government entities, like sidewalk trip and falls, run on a much shorter clock.
Medical bills, lost wages, and property damage — plus non-economic damages like pain and suffering. Where the other party's conduct was extreme, punitive damages may be on the table as well.
Anywhere from a few months to a couple of years, depending on complexity and whether the insurer is willing to settle fairly. If trial is necessary, it can take longer — and we keep you informed at every step either way.

One conversation is usually enough to know whether you have a case — and what it may be worth. It costs you nothing, and it obligates you to nothing.
