❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Can I file a claim if I wasn’t taken to the hospital right away?
Yes. Many injury symptoms develop hours or even days later. If you’re in pain or needed medical treatment, you may still have a valid claim.
What if I don’t know who caused the crash?
You don’t need all the answers to get started. A lawyer can investigate the scene, gather evidence, and identify all liable parties.
Will the insurance company cover long-term injuries?
Not automatically. Insurers often offer low settlements upfront. A legal team can help you pursue full compensation for ongoing care and future costs.
Can I still get compensated if I was partly at fault?
Yes. California’s comparative fault laws allow you to recover damages even if you were partially responsible — though your share may be reduced.
How much time do I have to take legal action?
In California, most personal injury claims must be filed within 2 years. If a government vehicle or agency was involved, the deadline may be as short as 6 months.
