There are many reasons to hire an experienced personal injury attorney to represent you in a personal injury claim. The most important reasons are to make sure that you receive all necessary medical treatment, that a thorough investigation takes place and all critical evidence is gathered, that you don’t fall prey to a lowball offer or any other tactics insurance companies use to devalue your claim, that your case can go the distance all the way to trial if necessary, and that you receive maximum compensation for your injuries, property damage, pain and suffering, and any other damages. 

It depends. Typically, in California you have two years from the date of incident to file a lawsuit, however there are circumstances where the deadline is shorter or longer, such as if the defendant is a government entity or if the claimant is a minor. This is why it is important to speak to an experienced personal injury law firm to ensure your claim is protected. 

The amount of compensation you may receive for your injury claim is dependent on many factors, with the most important being the nature of your injuries, the amount of insurance coverage available, and whether you were at fault for your accident.
