How to choose a lawyer in La Habra

Choose 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 lawyer will take a case to court. Look for knowledge of local courts and insurers, and get clear contingency terms in writing, including what percentage the lawyer takes and who pays case costs. Ask who personally handles your case day to day. Finally, check the lawyer's standing with the State Bar. Use these questions as you compare the local attorneys listed in our directory.

What to do after an accident in La Habra

After an accident in La Habra, 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 exchange and gather information from everyone involved. Avoid admitting fault or giving a recorded statement to an insurer. Keep records of treatment, bills, and lost work. California has a filing deadline of 2 years from the date of injury, so acting promptly matters. If you are unsure what to do next, a local personal injury lawyer can review your situation.

California injury law, in brief
