California injury practice areas
Nine kinds of claim, each with its own rules, its own deadlines and its own insurance problems. Every page below explains the law that applies, what the insurer will argue, and what has to be preserved early.
All practice areas
Personal Injury
The rules that govern every California injury claim, and how a case actually moves from first call to resolution.
Read more →Car Accidents
Rear-end, left-turn and freeway collisions, the new state minimum coverage limits, and what to do in the first week.
Read more →Motorcycle Accidents
Lane splitting is legal in California. Insurers still argue it was your fault. How those claims get defended, and answered.
Read more →Truck Accidents
Federal safety rules, driver logs and black box data. Evidence that is legally destructible unless someone demands it in writing, fast.
Read more →Pedestrian Accidents
Crosswalk right of way, the end of jaywalking tickets, and the coverage that applies when the driver flees.
Read more →Wrongful Death
Who is allowed to bring the claim, what the law lets a family recover, and the January 2026 change that narrowed it.
Read more →Dog Bites
California imposes strict liability on dog owners. There is no free first bite, and the insurance is usually the homeowner's.
Read more →Uninsured & Underinsured
When the at-fault driver has no coverage or not enough. Your own policy becomes the case, and it has its own hard deadline.
Read more →Premises Liability
Slip and falls, unsafe stairs and inadequate security. These cases are won or lost on notice and on video that gets overwritten.

Call anyway. The categories above cover the great majority of what the firm handles, but injuries do not always sort themselves neatly. If your matter is something the firm does not take, we will tell you that directly rather than keep you on the phone, and we will point you somewhere more useful if we can.
One thing worth repeating regardless of category: if a government entity might be involved — a city vehicle, a transit bus, a public hospital, a school, a dangerous road or a broken sidewalk — the deadline to file a written administrative claim is generally six months, not two years. Every California injury deadline, in one place.
Tell us what happened. We will tell you where you stand.
The review is free, there is no obligation, and if you do not have a claim worth pursuing we will say so. If you do, we will explain the deadlines that apply to you and what happens next.
