Frequently Asked Questions
What rights do I have if I’m injured in California?
In California, you have the right to pursue a personal injury claim if someone else’s negligence caused your harm. You may seek compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, future earning capacity, pain and suffering.
California operates under pure comparative negligence. This means you can recover compensation even if you are partially at fault, your award is reduced by your percentage of fault.
Will filing a claim affect my immigration status?
No. In California, your immigration status has nothing to do with your right to bring a personal injury claim. The court is not allowed to ask about it, look into it, or use it against you at any point in your case. This protection is built into the law.
Learn more about immigration status and your rights to a personal injury claim.

How do I get in touch with an attorney?
It’s easy! Just call us anytime at (213) 985‑1120. We’re here around the clock to answer your questions and set up your free consultation.
What should I do if I'm at fault in a car crash?
If the police report says you were at fault, let your insurance company know right away. They’ll look into it and may provide a lawyer for you. Still unsure about your rights? A car accident lawyer can review your situation in a free consultation.
I'm not at fault, do I still need to get a lawyer?
Knowing if and when to hire a personal injury lawyer depends on several factors.
If you are not at fault and suffered injuries, you will very likely need an attorney–especially if your injuries are serious.
Hiring a California personal injury attorney can:
- Protect your rights
- Ensure you receive full and fair compensation
- Navigate insurance adjusters
- Ensure medical liens and deadlines (like the 2-year statute of limitations) are handled
- Simplify settlement demands or litigation if needed.
Unfortunately, most insurance companies use different tactics to deny or under value claims, even when you’re injured and not at fault.
If you’re unsure, you should still schedule a free consultation to get clarity and reassurance–it’s in your best interest!

- Free consultation: Call or use our chatbot to discuss your case.

Who will handle my case, an attorney or a paralegal?
Your case will be handled by one of our experienced California personal injury attorneys, supported by a dedicated legal team. We combine legal expertise with efficient staff assistance to ensure your case receives both professional care and personal attention.
What is the difference between a claim and a lawsuit?
A personal injury claim is the effort to secure compensation—usually initiated by a demand letter to the insurance company or at-fault party, hoping for settlement before court.
On the other hand, a lawsuit is a formal legal action involving the court system. A complaint is filed in court, the defendant responds, and the case proceeds through litigation unless settled before trial.
