Look for a lawyer who focuses on personal injury rather than one who handles it occasionally. Ask about a real trial track record, since insurers weigh whether a firm will take a case to court. Find out how well the lawyer knows local courts and the insurers you may face. Get the contingency terms in writing, including the percentage and who pays costs. Ask who personally handles your case day to day. Finally, check the attorney's standing with the State Bar. Use these questions as you compare the local attorneys in our directory.
What to do after an accident in Alhambra
Get medical care first, even if you feel fine, since some injuries show up later. Document the scene and your injuries with photos and notes, and gather names, contact details, and insurance information from everyone involved. Avoid admitting fault or giving a recorded statement to an insurer. Keep every record, including bills, reports, and correspondence. California sets a filing deadline of 2 years from the date of injury, so acting promptly matters and delays can cost you options. Once your health is addressed, consider speaking with a local attorney about your situation.
