You will not need to worry about the paperwork and headaches involved with the legal side of fighting for what is rightfully yours after an injury or accident.

Good questions to ask include:

• What documentation is needed?

• Have you tried similar injury cases to mine in the past?
• How long will a personal injury case in Pasadena take?
• Will my case likely go to trial?
• Is my case worth anything?

California gives you two years from the date of your injury to file most personal injury lawsuits. Some claims involving government entities (like a crash on a state highway involving a Caltrans road defect) require a notice of claim within six months, so it’s important to talk to an attorney quickly even if your two-year deadline feels far away.

The Michael D. Antonovich Antelope Valley Courthouse at 42011 4th Street West in Lancaster handles civil cases for Palmdale, Lancaster, and the surrounding Antelope Valley communities. Most personal injury cases that proceed to litigation are filed there.

It depends on the severity of your injuries, your medical bills, lost income, and how the injury has affected your daily life. California allows recovery for both economic damages (medical bills, lost wages, future medical care) and non-economic damages (pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life). A free case evaluation will give you a realistic range based on your specific situation.

You may be able to file a claim under your own uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage, which most California auto policies include unless you specifically declined it. We also investigate whether other parties (employers if it was a commercial vehicle, vehicle owners, or third-party drivers) bear any responsibility.

No. Personal injury attorneys work on a contingency basis, meaning you pay nothing unless we recover compensation for you. The case evaluation is also free.

Yes. California follows a “pure comparative negligence” rule, which means you can recover damages even if you were partly at fault — your recovery is just reduced by your percentage of fault. So if you were found 25% at fault and your damages totaled $100,000, you could still recover $75,000.

Most cases settle within 6 to 18 months. Cases that go to trial can take 18 to 24 months or longer. The timeline depends on how clearly liability is established, the severity of your injuries, and whether the insurance company offers a fair settlement early.

Yes. While our office is in Encino, we represent personal injury clients throughout Palmdale, Lancaster, Quartz Hill, Acton, and surrounding Antelope Valley communities. We travel to the AV Courthouse for any required hearings and never charge clients extra for the geographic distance.
