California Personal Injury Lawyer

California Personal Injury Lawyer | Leeran S. Barzilai, APLC

If you have been injured anywhere in California due to someone else’s negligence, you need more than just any attorney. You need a fierce advocate who understands California courts and knows how to fight for maximum compensation. At Leeran S. Barzilai, A Prof. Law Corp. , we fight tirelessly for injured victims across the Golden State.

Our firm has hands-on experience handling complex personal injury cases in California courts. For example, we recently represented the plaintiff in Lezmy v. Botte, a medical malpractice case filed at the San Diego Central Courthouse. That kind of courtroom experience matters. We know California judges, we understand California procedures, and we know how to win.

The Personal Injury Claim Process in California

Understanding what happens after an accident can reduce your stress. Here is how we guide you through it.

First, we meet for a free consultation. There is no cost, no obligation, and no pressure. We simply listen to your story and explain your options.

Second, if we take your case, we investigate thoroughly. This means gathering police reports, interviewing witnesses, reviewing medical records, and consulting experts when necessary. Under California law, we have two years from the date of injury to file most claims, so time is of the essence .

Third, we handle all communication with insurance companies. Insurance adjusters are not your friends. Let us deal with them so you can focus on healing.

Fourth, we negotiate aggressively for a fair settlement. Most cases resolve without trial, but we are always ready to litigate.

Finally, if a fair settlement cannot be reached, we take your case to court. Our firm has California courtroom experience, and insurance companies know we are not afraid to use it.

California Personal Injury Laws You Should Know

California operates under a pure comparative negligence system . This means that even if you were partially at fault for an accident, you can still recover damages. However, your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault.

California also imposes a two-year statute of limitations for most personal injury claims under Code of Civil Procedure § 335.1 . There are exceptions, particularly for claims against government entities, which require filing within six months under the California Tort Claims Act .

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a California personal injury lawyer cost? We work on a contingency fee basis. You pay nothing upfront. We only get paid if we win your case . This arrangement is standard in California and ensures access to justice for all victims regardless of financial situation. Under California Business and Professions Code § 6147, contingency agreements must be in writing and explain how fees are calculated .

How long do I have to file a lawsuit in California? California generally allows two years from the date of injury for personal injury claims . However, exceptions exist for medical malpractice (three years from injury or one year from discovery), government entity claims (six months), and wrongful death (two years from date of death) . Contact us immediately to protect your rights.

What is my case worth? Compensation typically includes medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and future care needs. We evaluate every factor under California law to demand maximum value.

Will my case go to trial? Most cases settle out of court. However, we prepare every case as if it is going to trial. This approach often leads to better settlement offers.
