When picking from the local attorneys in our directory, start with focus. Look for a lawyer whose practice centers on personal injury rather than one who handles it occasionally. Ask about a real trial track record, since insurers negotiate differently when a case may go to court. Find out whether the lawyer knows the local courts and the insurers you may deal with. Get the contingency terms in writing, including the percentage and who pays case costs. Ask who will personally handle your case day to day. Finally, check the attorney's standing with the State Bar. These steps help you compare firms with confidence.

Keep records of treatment, bills, and anything related to the incident. California has a filing deadline of 2 years from the date of injury, so acting promptly matters.
