Frequently Asked Questions About Personal Injury Cases in Los Angeles

What should I do immediately after an accident?

After an accident, your first priority should be your health. Seek medical attention immediately, even if you don’t feel injured right away. Document the accident scene if possible, gather contact information from witnesses, and report the accident to the appropriate authorities. Contact a personal injury lawyer as soon as possible to discuss your case and protect your rights.

How do I know if I have a valid personal injury claim?

You may have a valid personal injury claim if you were injured due to someone else’s negligence or wrongful actions. Factors like the severity of your injury, the circumstances of the accident, and the evidence available will determine the strength of your claim. Attorney Ramona Kennedy offers free consultations to evaluate your case and provide guidance.

How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in California?

In California, the statute of limitations for most personal injury claims is two years from the date of the injury. There are exceptions, such as claims against government entities, which have shorter deadlines. It’s important to consult with an attorney promptly to ensure you meet all necessary deadlines and preserve your right to compensation.

What if I was partially at fault for the accident?

California follows a “comparative negligence” rule, which means you can still recover damages even if you were partially at fault for the accident. However, your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you were 20% at fault, your compensation will be reduced by 20%. Attorney Ramona Kennedy can help assess your case and navigate the complexities of comparative negligence.

How much does it cost to hire a personal injury lawyer?

At the Law Offices of Ramona Kennedy, we work on a contingency fee basis. This means you pay no upfront fees or out-of-pocket costs. Our fees are a percentage of the settlement or court award we secure for you. If we do not win your case, you do not owe us any legal fees.
