Choose a Campbell personal injury lawyer who focuses on injury cases rather than practicing it occasionally. Look for a real trial track record, since insurers weigh whether a firm actually goes to court. Ask about familiarity with local courts and the insurers that handle claims in the area. Get clear contingency terms in writing: what percentage the firm takes and who pays costs. Confirm who personally handles your case day to day, not just who signs you up. Finally, check the attorney's standing with the State Bar. Use these questions to compare the local attorneys listed in our directory.
What to do after an accident in Campbell
After an accident in Campbell, get medical care first, even if you feel fine, since some injuries appear later. Document the scene and your injuries with photos and notes, and exchange and gather information from everyone involved. Avoid admitting fault or giving a recorded statement to an insurer. Keep records of treatment, bills, and any time missed from work. California sets a filing deadline of 2 years from the date of injury, so acting promptly matters and delays can cost you the right to recover. Once your immediate needs are handled, consider speaking with a local attorney about your options.
