Personal Injury FAQs
The most common personal-injury legal questions from our community — car accidents, slip & fall, medical malpractice, and more.
California's personal injury statute of limitations is 2 years, but the sooner you consult an attorney, the better. Evidence disappears over time, and insurance companies will contact you early trying to settle for less. We recommend at least one free consultation within 72 hours of the accident.
Personal injury attorneys typically work on a contingency fee basis — you pay nothing upfront, and attorney fees are deducted from the final settlement. The exact percentage is negotiated between you and your attorney.
Key factors include who was at fault, the severity of your injuries, available evidence (photos, police reports, witness statements), and whether you sought prompt medical attention. Even if you're unsure, a free consultation with an attorney can help you assess your situation — there's no cost and no obligation.
If you have Uninsured Motorist (UM) coverage, you can file a claim with your own insurance company. If the other driver has insufficient insurance, your Underinsured Motorist (UIM) coverage can make up the difference. Consult an attorney to evaluate all possible sources of compensation.
Yes. California follows a Pure Comparative Negligence system — even if you are partially at fault, you can still recover compensation, reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you were 20% at fault, you can still recover 80% of your damages.
We do not recommend settling without first consulting an attorney. Many injuries don't appear until days or weeks after the accident, and settling too early may affect the compensation available to you. Get at least one free legal consultation before making any decisions.
No. LawyerFinder is a group of independent California attorneys jointly advertising their services — it is not a lawyer referral service and not a law firm. We do not provide legal advice and do not represent any party. Whether to hire an attorney is entirely your decision.
Information you submit through LawyerFinder is handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy. Your case information is shared only with the attorney you connect with and is never sold to unrelated third parties.
