Common questions about Personal Injury in California
Answered by California Legal Guide
How do I find a California personal injury attorney?
Browse the 202,089 California personal injury attorneys above by county or use the practice-area cards. Each attorney is verified against the State Bar of California records.
What does it cost to hire a California personal injury attorney?
Most California personal injury attorneys work on contingency — commonly around 33⅓% of a pre-suit settlement and about 40% if a lawsuit is filed. California follows pure comparative negligence, so a recovery is reduced by your share of fault rather than barred. Timeline: a few months for clear-liability settlements; 1–3+ years for cases that go to trial.
How long does a California personal injury case take?
Case duration depends on case type, court calendar, and complexity. Uncontested matters typically resolve in 3-6 months; contested matters with disputes can take 12-24+ months. Your attorney can give you a more specific estimate based on your facts.
