PERSONAL INJURY FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What Should I Do If the Insurance Company Offers Me a Settlement? +
If the insurance company proposes a settlement, avoid accepting it immediately. It's crucial to consult a lawyer to ensure the offer fairly compensates you for all your losses, including medical bills and intangible damages like pain and suffering.
What Happens If I Am Partially at Fault for the Accident? +
Even if you were partially at fault for the accident, you might still be entitled to compensation depending on your state's laws. In many states, your recovery may be reduced based on your share of responsibility, but you can still receive damages.
How Is Pain and Suffering Calculated in a Personal Injury Case? +
Pain and suffering, classified as non-economic damages, are challenging to measure. These damages are usually determined by the extent of your injuries and how they affect your daily life, often calculated as a multiplier of your financial losses.
Can I Still Receive Compensation If I Didn't Seek Immediate Medical Attention? +
Seeking medical care promptly is important, but even if you didn't get treatment right away, it doesn't necessarily bar you from receiving compensation. However, delays in treatment can make it more difficult to prove that your injuries were caused by the accident.

ACCIDENT LAW FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What should I do if the other driver doesn't have insurance? +
If the other driver lacks insurance, your uninsured motorist policy can assist with medical expenses and vehicle repairs. It's crucial to inform your insurer promptly to explore all potential compensation avenues.
How long do I have to file a lawsuit after a car accident? +
In most states, the statute of limitations on car accidents, or the time limit that you have to file a personal injury claim for the accident, is generally two years in length. Acting quickly strengthens your case, as evidence can degrade and witness memories may become less reliable over time.
What happens if I am partially at fault for the accident? +
In California’s "pure comparative negligence" system, you can still seek compensation even if you're partly responsible for the accident. However, your compensation will be reduced by the percentage of your fault.
What if I was not wearing a seatbelt during the accident? +
Even if you weren't wearing a seatbelt, you may still be eligible for compensation. However, if your lack of seatbelt use contributed to your injuries, your compensation might be reduced accordingly.
How long does it take to settle a car accident claim? +
Simple cases may settle within a few months, while more complicated ones, especially those with serious injuries or disputed liability, can take over a year to resolve.
Can I still file a claim if the accident involved a hit-and-run? +
If you have uninsured motorist coverage, it often applies to hit-and-run incidents. It's important to report the accident to the police immediately to help support your claim.

EMPLOYMENT LAW FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Can I Be Fired for Reporting Unsafe Working Conditions? +
No, firing an employee for reporting unsafe conditions is illegal. This act is classified as retaliation, and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) laws protect employees who report these concerns. If you're terminated under these circumstances, you have the right to file a complaint to seek protection.
Should I Do If My Employer Won’t Pay Overtime? +
If your employer is not paying you overtime, you may be eligible to recover those unpaid wages. Federal law requires overtime pay for non-exempt employees working over 40 hours in a week. Filing a complaint with the Department of Labor can help you claim the wages you're owed.
How Do I Prove I Was Discriminated Against at Work? +
To prove discrimination, you must demonstrate that you were treated unfairly due to a protected characteristic, like race or gender. Gathering evidence such as documented incidents, witness testimonies, and any relevant communications can help strengthen your case.
What Are Reasonable Accommodations for Employees with Disabilities? +
Employers are legally required to provide reasonable accommodations for employees with disabilities, as long as it does not impose an undue burden. These accommodations might include modified work schedules, assistive technology, or changes to job duties.
Can My Employer Retaliate Against Me for Filing a Complaint? +
No, it is illegal for an employer to retaliate against you for filing a complaint about discrimination, harassment, or unsafe working conditions. If adverse actions are taken against you after filing a complaint, you could have grounds to pursue a retaliation claim.
Is It Legal to Be Paid Less Than Minimum Wage? +
In most cases, no. Employers are required to pay the minimum wage set by federal or state law, whichever is higher. Certain exceptions exist for specific groups like tipped employees or student workers, but these exceptions must comply with specific regulations.

WRONGFUL DEATH FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Can multiple parties be held responsible in a wrongful death case? +
Yes, several parties can be held responsible in a wrongful death case. For example, in cases involving defective products, both the manufacturer and any other liable parties may share responsibility for the death.
Can a wrongful death case proceed if there is a related criminal case? +
Yes, wrongful death lawsuits are civil matters and can proceed separately from any criminal case. The outcome of the criminal case does not affect the civil wrongful death lawsuit, as the two operate independently, but there are some aspects of both cases that can overlap.
What is the role of a personal representative in a wrongful death lawsuit? +
A personal representative, usually appointed by the court, is responsible for managing the wrongful death lawsuit on behalf of the deceased's estate and beneficiaries. This individual makes legal decisions and ensures any awarded compensation is properly distributed.
Are emotional distress damages available in a wrongful death lawsuit? +
Yes, survivors may seek damages for loss of companionship, emotional support, and comfort. However, under California law, damages for grief or sorrow are generally not recoverable.
How are damages distributed if the case involves multiple survivors? +
If the case goes to trial, the court awards a lump sum, and a judge will divide it based on factors like the survivors' financial dependence and relationship with the deceased. In settlements, survivors can agree on the distribution or seek help from a mediator.
Can a wrongful death case be filed if the decedent was partly at fault? +
Yes, even if the deceased was partially at fault, wrongful death claims can still be filed in states like California. However, the compensation may be reduced in proportion to the degree of fault assigned to the deceased.
