Compensation You May Be Able to Recover

• Lost Wages: We calculate the full value of income lost during your recovery, as well as any permanent impact on your future earning capacity.

• Property Damage: We seek full reimbursement for the repair costs or the market value of replacement for your vehicle and personal items.

How the Claims Process Works

A claim begins when you file with the at-fault party’s insurance company. We then handle all evidence collection and negotiations.

FAQ: Is There a Deadline to File a Personal Injury Claim in Folsom?

Yes. Under California Code of Civil Procedure section 335.1, the statute of limitations for most types of claims runs out two years from the date you are injured. This is the deadline for filing a lawsuit against the negligent party.

Missing these strict deadlines usually results in the court dismissing your case. We urge you to consult with us well before these dates approach.

FAQ: What is the difference between a claim and a lawsuit?

A claim is the initial negotiation with the insurance company. If that process fails to produce a fair offer, we file a lawsuit to take the matter to court. While most cases settle outside of court, we prepare every case as if it is going to trial to ensure the best outcome.

FAQ: Costs and Contingency Fees

Our Folsom personal injury attorneys work strictly on a contingency fee basis. This means you pay no upfront fees. We only get paid a percentage of the final settlement if we win your case. If you don’t win, we don’t collect a fee.

Personal Injury Settlement Limits

While no two cases are identical, and some jurisdictions impose statutory limits on specific non-economic damages, California generally allows for full recovery of economic losses. Our attorneys include every expense, from ambulance bills to future rehabilitation, in your demand.

Local Medical Attention in Folsom for Injured Victims
