Antioch Personal Injury Lawyer

Minor property-damage claims can often be handled directly with an insurer. If you were hurt, missed work, or needed ongoing treatment, a lawyer usually makes a real difference. Insurers value claims differently when an attorney is involved, and they count on unrepresented people not knowing what their case is worth.

Nothing up front. We work on contingency, so our fee comes out of the settlement or verdict only if we win. We also advance the costs of investigating and building your case.

Generally two years from the date of injury under California Code of Civil Procedure section 335.1. Claims against a public agency, such as the City of Antioch, Contra Costa County, or Caltrans, usually require a written claim within six months. Some deadlines differ depending on the facts, so talk to a lawyer early.

You can still recover. California follows pure comparative fault, so your compensation is reduced by your share of fault but not eliminated. Insurers often overstate a victim's share of blame, which is one reason to have someone on your side.

Most California injury claims settle within 6 to 18 months. Cases with severe injuries, disputed fault, or multiple insurers can take longer, especially if a lawsuit is filed. Settling too early, before you know the full extent of your injuries, usually costs you money.
