About SoCalLaw
A Legacy of Fighting for Injured Victims
For over three decades, our firm has stood up for individuals and families injured due to negligence across Southern California. From serious auto accidents to workplace injuries and dangerous slip and fall incidents, our attorneys have seen how unexpected injuries can disrupt lives physically, emotionally, and financially. That experience drives our commitment to holding responsible parties accountable and pursuing full compensation for our clients.
Unlike firms that take a one size fits all approach, we focus on personal injury law and handle cases involving car and truck accidents, general personal injury, premises liability, and workplace injuries. This focused approach allows us to understand the tactics used by insurance companies and employers, build strong claims, and fight for results that truly make a difference.

Common Questions
Get answers to frequently asked questions about personal injury claims in California.
How much does it cost to hire a personal injury attorney?
We work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing upfront and we only get paid if we win your case. Our fee is a percentage of your settlement or verdict. If we don't recover compensation for you, you owe us nothing. There are no hidden costs.
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in California?
In California, the statute of limitations for most personal injury claims is 2 years from the date of injury. However, there are exceptions - claims against government entities must be filed within 6 months. We recommend contacting us as soon as possible to protect your rights.
What is my case worth?
Every case is unique. Factors include medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, long-term disability, and the circumstances of the accident. During your free consultation, we'll evaluate your case and give you an honest assessment of potential compensation.
Will my case go to trial?
Most personal injury cases settle before trial - about 95% of our cases resolve through negotiation. However, we prepare every case as if it's going to trial. If the insurance company won't offer fair compensation, we're ready and willing to fight for you in court.
What should I do after an accident?
First, seek medical attention even if you feel fine - some injuries have delayed symptoms. Document everything: take photos, get witness information, and keep all medical records. Don't give recorded statements to insurance companies. Then call us for a free consultation.
Can I still recover compensation if I was partially at fault?
Yes! California follows 'pure comparative negligence,' meaning you can recover damages even if you were partially at fault. Your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you're 20% at fault for a $100,000 case, you'd recover $80,000.
How long will my case take?
Timeline varies based on case complexity, injury severity, and whether we go to trial. Simple cases may settle in a few months, while complex litigation can take 1-2 years. We prioritize getting you the maximum compensation, not just a quick settlement.
Do I have a case if I wasn't physically injured?
Possibly. You may have claims for property damage, emotional distress, or lost wages even without physical injuries. Every situation is different, so we recommend a free consultation to evaluate your specific circumstances.
