Frequently Asked Questions

  • What types of personal injury cases do you handle?

    We handle auto accidents, motorcycle crashes, premises liability, slip and fall injuries, catastrophic injuries, and tribal casino claims. Our experienced attorneys focus on cases involving negligence throughout California.

  • How long do I have to file a claim?

    California generally allows two years from the injury date for personal injury claims. However, government claims have shorter deadlines, and tribal casino injuries require immediate action within specific timeframes.

  • What should I do immediately after an accident?

    Seek medical attention first, then document the scene with photos, gather witness information, and avoid discussing fault. Contact our firm promptly to protect your rights and preserve crucial evidence.

  • Do you charge fees upfront for consultations?

    We offer free consultations for personal injury cases. Our attorneys work on contingency, meaning you pay no fees unless we successfully recover compensation for your injuries and damages.

  • Can you handle cases outside Los Angeles County?

    Yes, we serve clients throughout California with offices in Culver City, Fresno, Riverside, and San Diego. We're admitted to practice in state and federal courts across California.

  • What makes premises liability cases different from accidents?

    Premises liability involves injuries on someone else's property due to unsafe conditions. Property owners must maintain reasonable safety standards, making these cases focus on negligent maintenance or security.

  • How do tribal casino injury claims work?

    Tribal casino injuries require special procedures and strict deadlines due to sovereign immunity laws. We're admitted to practice in tribal courts and understand the unique requirements for these claims.

  • What compensation can I recover for injuries?

    You may recover medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and future care costs. Catastrophic injuries often involve higher settlements due to long-term impacts and ongoing treatment needs.

  • Why should I hire an attorney for my case?

    Insurance companies often offer lowball settlements to unrepresented victims. Our experienced attorneys know how to value claims properly, negotiate effectively, and take cases to trial when necessary.

  • What happens if the other driver is uninsured?

    Uninsured motorist coverage through your own policy may provide compensation. We help clients understand their coverage options and pursue all available sources of recovery for their injuries.
