(FAQs)
1. How much does it cost to hire a car accident lawyer in Oakland?
Our firm works on a contingency fee basis, meaning you don’t pay unless we win. Our fee is a percentage of your final settlement, ensuring you get top-notch legal representation without upfront costs.
2. How long do I have to file a claim after a car accident?
In California, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims is two years from the accident date. If you fail to file within this period, you may lose your right to compensation. Learn more from the California Courts website.
3. What if the other driver doesn’t have insurance?
If the at-fault driver is uninsured, you may still recover compensation through your own uninsured motorist coverage. Our attorneys can help you navigate this process and ensure you receive fair compensation.
4. What should I do if the insurance company denies my claim?
Insurance companies sometimes deny valid claims to avoid payouts. If this happens, our lawyers will appeal the decision and, if necessary, take legal action to recover your rightful compensation. Visit the California Department of Insurance here for more insights on insurance claims.
5. What types of compensation can I recover?
Medical bills (hospital visits, surgeries, rehabilitation).
Lost income (if your injuries prevent you from working).
Pain and suffering (emotional distress and trauma).
Property damage (repairs to your vehicle).
