How much does a car accident lawyer cost in Pomona?
Most car accident lawyers in Pomona work on contingency, meaning you pay nothing upfront and no attorney fees unless you win. Typical contingency fees range from 33-40% of your settlement. Free consultations are standard.
How long do I have to file a car accident lawsuit in California?
In California, you have 2 years from the accident date to file a personal injury lawsuit and 3 years for property damage claims. These deadlines are strict—missing them means losing your right to compensation.
What if I was partially at fault for the accident?
California follows a pure comparative negligence system. You can recover compensation even if you were mostly at fault—your award is simply reduced by your percentage of fault.
Should I accept the insurance company's first settlement offer?
Usually no. First offers are typically designed to close your claim quickly for less than it's worth. Insurance companies know many accident victims are stressed and need money fast. A lawyer can evaluate whether the offer is fair based on your injuries, lost wages, and other damages.
What types of compensation can I receive after a car accident?
Depending on your case, you may recover: medical expenses (past and future), lost wages and earning capacity, property damage, pain and suffering, and in some cases, punitive damages. An attorney can help identify all potential sources of compensation.
