Frequently Asked Questions

  • How soon should I speak with an attorney after a crash in Cupertino?

    As early as possible. A prompt review helps preserve evidence, clarify the insurance strategy, and avoid early missteps when adjusters call.

  • I was hit while riding a bike — does car insurance still apply?

    Often yes. The driver's liability coverage is typically the starting point, and your own auto policy can sometimes apply too — a free review can map the options.

  • What does it cost to hire a personal injury attorney?

    Personal injury cases are typically handled on a contingency-fee basis — the consultation is free and fees generally come out of a recovery rather than up front.
