Most personal injury lawyers work on contingency, meaning you pay a percentage of any recovery rather than an hourly fee up front. Ask for the percentage and the cost terms in writing before you sign. Confirm whether costs are deducted before or after the fee is calculated, and ask what happens if the case brings no recovery.
California sets the filing deadline at 2 years from the date of injury. Missing it can bar your claim, so treat it as a firm limit rather than a guideline. If you are unsure when your time started, ask a lawyer to review the timeline. Do not wait until the last weeks to seek advice.
