Your ability to seek compensation diminishes the longer you wait to take action. After 2 years, very little can be done with your claim.
Insurance companies have huge legal teams that work to minimize your claim's value. Don't settle without seeking legal advice first.
1. Pull Over To A Safe Place.
2. Call The Police – Call the police to come and make a report. If not, try and record the other party admitting fault.
3. Gather Evidence – Take photos/videos of the vehicles, scene, drivers license, registration, insurance, and any visible injuries.
4. Gather Information – Get all contact info for the other party and of any witnesses.
5. Seek Medical Care – Receiving medical attention in a timely manner is always important for your immediate health and for the value of your case later.
6. Contact Capital Law Firm – Not just any lawyer. Make sure it is a lawyer who specializes in Personal Injury and has the proper experience.
The value of your personal injury claim depends on several factors, including the severity of your injuries, the extent of your medical expenses, the impact on your ability to work, and the degree of pain and suffering you’ve endured. Additionally, if your injuries result in long-term or permanent disability, this will also factor into the compensation you may receive. A personal injury lawyer can assess these factors and provide an estimate of the potential value of your claim based on similar cases and their experience.
In California, the statute of limitations for most personal injury claims is two years from the date of the injury or discovery of the injury. However, there are exceptions to this rule, such as cases involving government entities or medical malpractice. It’s crucial to consult with a personal injury lawyer promptly to ensure you meet all applicable deadlines and preserve your right to pursue compensation.
Our Law Firm does not charge any of our clients out of their own pocket. We are only paid, IF and WHEN we obtain a settlement on behalf of our clients. If we do not obtain a recovery, there is no fee for our legal services.
The best way to know if you have a valid personal injury claim is to consult with an attorney who specializes in this type of claim. Typically we will try to assess if there is a negligent party who is responsible for financial compensation for any and all damages.
Absolutely not! Whether it is the other persons insurance, your insurance, or any other insurance involved in your claim. The best thing you could ever do to protect your rights and the integrity of your case is to NEVER SPEAK TO THE INSURANCE COMPANY. They do not have your best interest in mind. The only thing they care about is paying out as little as possible, or nothing at all.
