Car Accidents
Car accidents are a leading cause of injury in California. Whether you were hit by a distracted driver, rear-ended at a stoplight, or involved in a highway collision, we can help you recover compensation for:
- Medical Expenses - Emergency care, surgery, rehabilitation, and ongoing treatment
- Lost Wages - Income lost while recovering from your injuries
- Future Earnings - If your injuries affect your ability to work long-term
- Pain and Suffering - Compensation for physical pain and emotional distress

Slip and Fall Accidents
Property owners have a duty to maintain safe premises. When they fail, serious injuries can result. We handle slip and fall cases involving:
- Wet or Slippery Floors - Unmarked spills, recently mopped surfaces
- Uneven Surfaces - Broken sidewalks, potholes, torn carpeting
- Poor Lighting - Inadequate illumination hiding hazards
- Cluttered Walkways - Merchandise, cords, or debris blocking paths
- Stairway Hazards - Broken handrails, missing steps, slippery stairs
No Fee Unless We Win
Personal injury cases are handled on a contingency fee basis. This means you pay nothing upfront, and we only get paid if we recover compensation for you. This allows anyone to access quality legal representation, regardless of financial situation.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in California?
In most cases, you have two years from the date of injury to file a personal injury lawsuit in California. However, there are exceptions, and evidence can disappear quickly. It's best to consult with an attorney as soon as possible after your injury.
Should I accept the insurance company's first offer?
Insurance companies often make low initial offers hoping you'll accept before understanding the full extent of your injuries and damages. It's generally advisable to consult with an attorney before accepting any settlement offer.
What if I was partially at fault for the accident?
California follows "comparative negligence" rules. You can still recover compensation even if you were partially at fault, though your recovery will be reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you're found 20% at fault, you can still recover 80% of your damages.
