Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do immediately after a car accident in Los Angeles?

Call 911, document the scene with photos, and get a copy of the LAPD or CHP accident report number. Seek medical evaluation within 24–48 hours even if you feel fine — delayed-onset injuries like whiplash and concussion are common and insurers use gaps in treatment against claimants. Contact an attorney before speaking with the other driver’s insurance company.

How long does a personal injury case take to resolve in Los Angeles?

Most Los Angeles personal injury cases settle within 6 to 18 months, depending on the severity of injuries and the pace of medical treatment. Cases that proceed to the Los Angeles Superior Court — which has a busy civil docket — can take 2 to 3 years from filing to trial. Reaching maximum medical improvement before settling is generally the right approach, since final medical costs determine the full value of the claim.

Does California allow me to recover damages even if I was partly at fault?

Yes. California follows pure comparative fault rules, meaning your damages are reduced by your percentage of fault. If you were 30% responsible for a crash, you can still recover 70% of your total damages. Los Angeles juries apply this standard routinely. An attorney can help minimize fault attribution during negotiations — which insurers often inflate in early settlement discussions.
