You Didn't Cause This. The Bills Still Arrive.

It is hard to understand what an accident really costs until it happens to you. Medical bills pile up, paychecks stop while you recover, and the emotional shock can stay with you long after the bruises fade. Then the at-fault driver’s insurer calls, friendly and quick, hoping you’ll settle before you know what your injuries are worth.

When someone else is responsible, California law gives you the right to be compensated. You may have a claim if:

  • Another person's carelessness caused the accident, even if you were partly at fault too

  • You were hurt as a driver, passenger, motorcyclist, cyclist, or pedestrian

  • You have medical bills, missed work, or pain that is still affecting your daily life

  • The accident happened within roughly the last two years

A San Mateo personal injury lawyer on our team can tell you where you stand. The consultation is free, and you pay nothing unless we win.

How We Prove Who Was Negligent

Every injury claim comes down to one question: did someone act less carefully than a reasonable person would have, and did that cause your injuries? In a crash, the answer is often in the details. A driver was texting, speeding, tailgating, driving impaired, or failed to yield. Our job is to prove it.

  • We rebuild what happened. We review the police and medical reports, interview witnesses, and gather photos and video before they disappear.
  • We push back on blame. Insurers often try to pin part of the fault on you so they can pay less. Under California’s pure comparative fault rule, your share of the blame only reduces your recovery; it never erases it. We fight to keep that share as small as the facts allow.
  • We count every loss. Past and future medical care, lost wages and lost earning capacity, pain and suffering, and the ways your injuries have changed your life.
  • We handle the insurers. Adjusters talk to us, not you, and no offer is accepted without your approval.

Most claims settle through negotiation. Because we are an actively litigating firm, insurers know that if they won’t pay fair value, we are prepared to file a lawsuit and take your case to trial.

San Mateo Personal Injury FAQs

Your health comes first: get medical care right away, even if your injuries seem minor. If you can, photograph the scene, your injuries, and the vehicles, and collect witness names and phone numbers. Then talk to a personal injury lawyer before you give a recorded statement or accept an offer.

California generally gives you two years from the date of the injury to file a lawsuit. Claims against a government entity can require a formal claim within just six months. Waiting also lets evidence fade, so it pays to start early.

Yes. California follows pure comparative negligence: your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault, but not eliminated. If you were 10% responsible, you could still recover 90% of your damages.

Your own uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage may pay for your losses, depending on your policy. If it doesn’t apply, we look at every other source of recovery, which in some cases can include the at-fault party personally.

By the severity of your injuries, your medical costs now and in the future, your lost income, and how the injuries affect your daily life. The strength of the evidence on fault matters too. We document all of it so the insurer can’t ignore any part of your loss.

Probably not. Most personal injury claims settle through negotiation with the insurance company. If a fair settlement isn’t offered, we file a lawsuit and are ready to take your case to trial.

Eyewitnesses can confirm how the accident happened. Experts can do even more: a doctor can explain the extent of your injuries and the care you’ll need, and an accident reconstructionist can show how and why the crash occurred. We identify the witnesses your case needs.

It’s worth a free consultation. Insurers often offer less than a claim is worth, and some injuries turn out to be more serious, or last longer, than they first seemed. Settling early can leave you paying for care you didn’t expect.
