Personal Injury Lawyers in California
From Los Angeles and San Diego to San Francisco, Sacramento, and communities across the state, California residents face a wide range of personal injury situations — freeway accidents, slip and fall at retail and hospitality businesses, and workplace injuries across major industries.
What's different about California
California follows a "pure comparative negligence" rule, meaning you can generally recover some compensation even if you were mostly responsible for an accident, with your award reduced by your percentage of fault. California does not use a no-fault auto insurance system, so establishing the other driver's fault is typically central to a car accident claim.
Filing deadlines
California generally applies a set statute of limitations for personal injury claims, with much shorter notice windows — often just months — for claims against government entities. Confirm your exact deadline with a licensed California attorney promptly.
