Do I need to hire an attorney to represent me?

You have the right to represent yourself. However, it is typically not in your best interest to do so because the insurance company will have a team of lawyers that will be working against you. This in combination with the complexities of the legal system and can put you at a serious disadvantage.

Do I need to file a lawsuit right away?

In California you have two years to file a lawsuit from the date of the accident. After that point, your case could very easily be thrown out for exceeding the statute of limitations.

How much is my personal injury claim worth?

That really depends on the extent of any damages, your injuries and the amount of money you have spent on medical care. We will also factor in any lost wages or decrease in wages due to a change in your job duties. Essentially, we will add up all of the expenses you have incurred to date along with money you have lost. Next, we will work with your doctor to project into the future and anticipate what you will have to spend on continuous care. This will help us to determine how much to ask for when going to court. In this situation the thing that most people fail to do is look at the potential future expense. Doing so is like leaving money on the table, something that we do not do.

Can I file a lawsuit on behalf of my child?

Yes, if your child or a minor that you are the guardian of is in a car accident you can file a lawsuit on their behalf. This is one of the more common personal injury frequently asked questions because of how many children are in accidents.
