A: In most personal injury cases, we work on a contingency fee basis. That means our attorney’s fee is a percentage of the recovery and is paid at the end of the case from the settlement or judgment. If there is no recovery, generally no attorney’s fee is owed. Court costs and case expenses may be separate and will be explained in your written fee agreement.

A: Whether you have a case depends on many factors: how the incident happened, who was at fault, what injuries you suffered, and what insurance coverage is available. During your free consultation, we can review the facts and give you an honest evaluation.

A: It varies. Some cases resolve in a few months; others, especially those that go into litigation, can take longer. We will keep you updated about major developments and timing as your case progresses.

A: Many personal injury claims settle before a lawsuit is filed. Others settle after suit but before trial. In some situations, trial is necessary. We prepare each case as if it may go to court so that we are ready if settlement is not possible.

A: That’s okay. It’s still a good idea to consult with an attorney before giving further statements, signing documents, or accepting any offer. Insurance companies may try to settle quickly for less than the full value of your claim.

A: Yes. We represent clients throughout the Inland Empire, Orange County, Los Angeles County, and surrounding areas in California.
