To make a claim following a car accident. Obviously, the first thing you want to do is take care of yourself, get yourself to a safe place, and make sure you get the medical care you need. That’s the most important thing.
You have time before you need to file a claim. You have 2 years to file a claim for personal injury in California. So, the most urgent thing is to get the medical care you need. But when it’s time to make a claim, if you’ve had a significant injury, we think it’s important that you hire a good lawyer.
There are plenty of lawyers out there, and it’s not commonly understood, but you can get a great lawyer for probably the same percentage you would pay as for not a very good lawyer who just happens to do a ton of television advertising.
So, it’s really up to you to do your research and look for a firm that really is going to have your best interest at heart, and it actually has the results to prove it.
