California Personal Injury Lawyer

You will get injured at some point in your life. However, you deserve compensation when someone else's negligence or intentionality causes the injury. Drivers, property owners, and establishment managers have a duty of care to keep others safe. Hiring a personal injury lawyer will help hold those responsible accountable when that duty of care is breached, and someone is hurt. We want to be your first choice when you have sustained an injury and are searching for a firm to represent you.

5 Personal Injury FAQs

We get a lot of questions about how a case works, so let's review the most common.

1. How Much Does a Personal Injury Lawyer Cost?

At Bear Republic Law Firm, we work on a contingency basis. A contingency fee schedule means we do not charge you anything unless we win a settlement in or out of court. This fee structure ensures we work hard for your case and that you don't have even more out-of-pocket expenses during a stressful time. We also offer contingency fee schedules for a:

2. How Can an Attorney Help Me?

A California personal injury lawyer will be an advocate for you and what's best for you. Your lawyer will fight to protect your rights and get you the most compensation possible. It's important to remember that insurance companies only look out for their bottom line, not what's best for you. While they may be friendly and sound helpful, they will do everything possible to pay you the least amount possible. Your personal injury attorney will aggressively fight for your rights and compensation.

3. What Kind of Settlement Can a California Personal Injury Lawyer Get?

Every injury case is different, so it's not wise for us to throw out a random number. Your settlement amount will depend on many factors, such as:

  • Extent of injuries
  • Amount of medical care costs (past, present, and future)
  • Wages lost (past, present, and future)
  • Pain and suffering
  • Loss of enjoyment of life

You can rely on your attorney to fight for the highest compensation under the law.

4. How Does a Case Work?

While recovering from your injuries, we start gathering evidence and investigating your case. Once your demand package is put together, we can demand the most from the private party. If you have never worked with a law firm, here is a quick outline of the process we follow with new clients.

Consultation

After your accident, you will consult with an experienced personal injury attorney. You will explain your injuries, your medical expenses, and how much time you have missed at work.

Investigation

After you have hired us, we investigate the accident or incident that caused your injury. Your attorney will contact witnesses, medical experts, accident reconstruction experts, and others.

Preparation of the demand package

With all the evidence gathered, your lawyer will develop a demand letter that gets delivered to the opposing side. The demand package includes an outline of your damages, which includes:

  • medical expenses
  • lost wages
  • any permanent injuries
  • future medical costs
  • pain and suffering

Mediation

We will work on a settlement with the opposing party during the mediation stage. Sometimes this phase is quick, but there's a lot of back and forth, so prepare for it to be a few months, if not more.

Court Date Set

Most cases are settled before they reach the trial stage, but if negotiations have failed, we will schedule a court date. Your attorney has litigation experience and will take your case to court if that is what is required.

Discovery

Before the trial, both parties exchange information, which helps each party estimate the strength of the other's case.

Trial

In a trial, both sides present their cases, and a jury will evaluate the facts on each side, determine who is at fault, and award damages if appropriate. If dissatisfied with the trial's outcome, you may appeal the case.

5. What Injury Cases Do We Take?

Our injury lawyers have represented clients injured in the following accidents and incidents.

Car Accidents

Car accidents are one of the most common causes of injury in the U.S. Whether you walked away with minor or major injuries, we can help you recover the compensation you need.

Truck Accidents

A collision with a tractor-trailer can cause catastrophic injuries and fatalities. If you survived an accident with a tractor-trailer or lost a loved one in a truck wreck, we are here to get justice for you.

Motorcycle injuries can be devastating because riders have no protection from the impact of other motor vehicles or the road.

Wrongful Death

When you have lost a loved one because of the reckless negligence of someone else, Bear Republic Law Firm holds those responsible accountable.

Medical Malpractice

Preventable medical mistakes are one of the country's top three leading causes of death. Physicians and other medical professionals owe their patients a duty of care. When a doctor’s medical error causes your injury, we are here to help.

Nursing Home Abuse

Whether an elder is not receiving adequate care and protection or whether they are being injured intentionally, elder abuse is never OK. If you think your loved one is being neglected or abused, you have a duty to report it. Our California nursing home abuse lawyers are here to fight for justice.

Fatal Truck Accidents

It can be catastrophic and deadly when a semi-truck driver causes an accident. Our truck accident lawyers are experienced in wrongful death and dealing with the legal teams of trucking companies.
