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 important exceptions. For example, claims against government entities require a government tort claim within six months, and minors have different deadlines. Missing a deadline can permanently bar your claim, so it's critical to consult an attorney as soon as possible after an injury.
What's the cost to hire Loyal Law?
Nothing upfront. Loyal Law handles personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis, meaning we only get paid if we recover money for you. Our fee comes as a percentage of the settlement or verdict. If we don't win, you don't pay attorney's fees. This means anyone, regardless of financial situation, can access top shelf legal representation.
What should I do immediately after my accident or injury?
Seek medical attention first, even if you feel fine. Some injuries don't present symptoms right away, and gaps in treatment can hurt your case later. Document everything: take photos of the scene, your injuries, and any property damage. Get contact and insurance information from all involved parties. Avoid giving recorded statements to insurance adjusters before speaking with an attorney. The steps you take in the hours and days after an injury can significantly impact the value of your claim.
