The value of your case depends on several factors, including the severity of your injuries, the extent of your medical expenses and lost wages, and the impact the injury has had on your life. An experienced personal injury attorney can assess your case and give you an estimate of its potential value.
In California, the statute of limitations for most accident injury cases is two years from the date of the accident. However, there are exceptions to this rule, so it’s important to consult with an attorney as soon as possible. Personal injury lawsuits can vary in duration depending on the complexity of the case and the process involved, which includes filing the lawsuit, discovery, settlement negotiations, and potentially going to trial.
It’s advisable to consult with an accident injury attorney before accepting any settlement offer. An attorney can review the offer and determine if it’s fair compensation and adequately compensates you for your losses.
Yes, California follows a comparative negligence rule, which means you can still recover compensation even if you were partially at fault for your accident. However, your compensation may be reduced by your percentage of fault.
You may be able to recover compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of consortium, and in some cases, punitive damages.
The timeline for settling an accident injury claim varies depending on the complexity of the case, the severity of your injuries, and the willingness of the insurance company to negotiate. Some cases settle within a few months, while others may take longer. Most personal injury claims are typically resolved by reaching a settlement with the at-fault party’s insurance company, and the duration can vary significantly based on these factors.
