Frequently Asked Questions
How Long Do I Have To File A Personal Injury Claim In California?
In most cases, two years from the date of the injury. If a government agency is involved, such as a city vehicle, a public bus or a poorly maintained public road, you generally must file a written claim with that agency within six months, so it’s important to talk to a lawyer early.
How Much Does It Cost To Hire Vititoe Law Group?
Nothing upfront. We work on a contingency fee, so our fee comes out of the compensation we recover for you. If we don’t recover anything, you don’t owe us attorney fees.
What Is My Personal Injury Case Worth?
It depends on your medical costs, lost income, the long-term effect of the injury on your life, and the insurance coverage available. Serious injuries such as brain injuries often involve future medical care and lost earning capacity, which can make up much of a case’s value. We’ll give you a realistic assessment in a free consultation.
Can I Still Recover Compensation If I Was Partly At Fault?
Yes. California follows pure comparative negligence, so you can recover damages even if you share some of the blame. Your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault.
Should I Talk To The Other Driver’s Insurance Company?
Not before speaking with a lawyer. Insurance adjusters often ask for recorded statements or make quick settlement offers before the full extent of an injury is known. We can handle all communication with the insurance companies for you.
How Do I Know If I Have A Brain Injury After An Accident?
Symptoms of a traumatic brain injury, including concussions, can take days or weeks to appear. Headaches, memory problems, trouble concentrating, dizziness and mood changes are common signs. If you notice any of them after an accident, see a doctor and tell them about the accident.
How Long Does A Personal Injury Case Take?
Many cases settle within several months once medical treatment is complete. Cases involving serious injuries, disputed fault or several defendants can take a year or more, especially if they go to trial.
Do You Handle Cases Outside Westlake Village?
Yes. From our office in Westlake Village, we represent injured people throughout Thousand Oaks, Agoura Hills, Calabasas, Simi Valley, Moorpark and the rest of Ventura and Los Angeles counties, and we handle serious injury cases across California. If your injuries make travel difficult, we can meet you at home or in the hospital.
