Call 911, seek medical attention, document the scene with photos, get witness information, and call AM Legal before speaking to any insurance company. The steps you take in the first 24 hours can significantly affect the value of your case.

California’s statute of limitations for car accident personal injury claims is two years from the date of the accident. For property damage only, you have three years. If a government vehicle was involved, you have only six months to file a government tort claim.

California requires drivers to carry uninsured motorist (UM) coverage. If the at-fault driver has no insurance or insufficient coverage, we pursue your own UM/UIM policy for compensation. We also investigate whether any other parties share liability.

You can recover medical expenses (past and future), lost wages, loss of earning capacity, vehicle repair or replacement, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life. In cases involving extreme negligence, punitive damages may also be available.

Case value depends on the severity of your injuries, your medical bills, lost income, and the degree of the other driver’s fault. Cases in Glendale range from a few thousand dollars for minor injuries to millions for catastrophic injuries or wrongful death. We evaluate every case individually at no charge.
