Question 1

What steps should I take after an accident?

Accepted Answer

After an accident, it's important to alert authorities, seek prompt medical care, gather evidence such as medical bills and witness information, document your experience, and be cautious about what you say to insurance adjusters. Finally, it is highly recommended to get a free case review with an experienced personal injury lawyer.

Question 2

How is the value of my personal injury case determined?

Accepted Answer

The worth of a personal injury case depends on various factors, including past and future medical expenses, lost income, property damage, and the impact on your quality of life. A thorough review of the case facts is necessary to determine potential compensation, and DJA Injury Attorneys offers free consultations for this purpose.

Question 3

Can I still recover compensation if I was partially at fault for the accident?

Accepted Answer

Yes, California follows a comparative negligence model. This means you can still receive compensation even if you were partially responsible for the accident, though the amount awarded will be reduced proportionally to your share of fault. An experienced attorney can help minimize the assessed fault to maximize your recovery.

Question 4

How much does a personal injury lawyer cost at DJA Injury Attorneys?

Accepted Answer

DJA Injury Attorneys, like most personal injury lawyers, works on a contingency fee basis. This means you will not pay any attorney fees unless the firm wins your case. This arrangement places the financial risk on the attorney and incentivizes them to achieve the best possible outcome for you.

Question 5

What is the deadline for filing a personal injury claim in California?

Accepted Answer

Generally, you have two years from the date of your injury to file a lawsuit against at-fault parties in California. However, specific circumstances can affect this timeline. It is advisable to contact an attorney as soon as possible to ensure your case is filed within the legal deadline.
