No. 1) You don’t pay us unless we win – We work on a contingency basis, which means there are no upfront costs. We only get paid if we win your case. 2) Our payment comes from your settlement – Our fee is a percentage of what you win. The percentage depends on the type of case (personal injury or workers' comp). Some personal injury cases can cost tens of thousands of dollars to fight. Contact us for details.

How long your case takes depends on a few things: How long you need treatment – If you go to the doctor for a long time, your case will take longer, but it could be worth more. If your treatment is short, we can ask the insurance company for money sooner. The insurance company wants to see all your medical bills before paying, so we wait until you're done with treatment to ask. How fair is the insurance company? – Some insurance companies take longer because they try to pay less. Others settle cases faster. How serious is your injury? – If you're badly hurt, the insurance company will take longer to investigate. They may want to ask you and your doctors questions before paying a big amount. Is it clear who caused the accident? – If it's not clear, the case may take longer because they need more time to figure it out.

If you are severely injured, and fault is clear, there are many companies that provide funding for you to help you weather the financial storm. We can help you obtain pre-settlement funding from those companies.

1) Most cases settle – About 90% to 95% of the time, we can get money for our clients without going to trial. 2) Some cases go to trial – Around 5% to 10% of cases go to trial if the insurance company doesn’t offer a fair amount for your injuries.

1) The evidence in your case – This includes pictures, videos, witness statements, and important documents from businesses or other sources. 2) The rules about accidents – The laws for car accidents (Cal. Vehicle Code) and slip & falls, along with the evidence, help us figure out who is responsible.

1) For car accidents, if the other driver doesn’t have insurance or much money, your options may be limited—unless you have uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage (UM/UIM). Lawyers usually don’t sue people who don’t have insurance or aren’t wealthy. 2) For slip & falls, your options may also be limited. Businesses and big buildings usually have insurance, so there’s a better chance of getting paid. But if you fall at someone’s house and they don’t have insurance, it can be much harder to recover money if they don't have insurance.

The worth of your slip & fall or car accident case is dependent on 3 primary factors: 1) The other person’s insurance – If the person who caused the accident has a small insurance policy, it can limit how much money you can get, even if you are badly hurt. 2) Your injuries and costs – If you have big medical bills, miss work, or need surgery, you may get more money. People with broken bones or surgeries often get six-figure settlements (which means at least $100,000 or more). 3) Who was at fault? – If you were partly to blame for the accident, the amount of money you get might be less. The more at fault you were, the less you may recover.

Yes. However, your compensation will be reduced based upon your percentage of fault.

1) If you have health insurance, it might pay for your medical bills if you use your insurance for treatment. But some doctors or insurance companies may refuse to pay if they know your injury is from an accident. 2) If you hire us, we can help you find doctors who will treat you on a lien (which is like credit). This means you don’t have to pay right away—your doctor will wait until your case is finished to get paid. 3) In the end, the person who caused the accident is responsible for paying back your medical bills when your case is settled.

1) Don’t talk to the insurance company yourself – They will record what you say, and it could be used against you later. Lawyers talk to them for you to protect your case. 2) We only accept fair offers – A "good" offer depends on your case. If you have serious injuries and the other person has a big insurance policy, the offer should be higher. Since we settle hundreds of cases each year, we know what a fair offer looks like.
