What to Do After an Accident
The days after an accident can feel disorienting, and most people aren’t sure where to start. Your health comes first, and a few careful steps taken early can meaningfully protect your legal options. Even if time has passed, you may still be able to take actions that help your potential claim.
Here are practical steps that often help protect your health and your case:
- Get medical care: Seek medical attention promptly, even if you feel fine, because some injuries aren’t obvious right away.
- Report the accident: Notify the appropriate party: law enforcement for a crash, or a property manager for a fall.
- Document the scene: Collect and save photos, contact details, and any incident or police reports.
- Maintain records: Keep records of your medical treatment, missed work days, and out-of-pocket expenses related to the injury.
- Be cautious with insurers: Don’t speak with insurance adjusters or sign any documents before getting legal guidance. Recorded statements and early settlement offers can reduce your potential recovery.
It’s common for people to miss some of these steps in the stress of the moment. You can still reach out to our team. Our personal injury attorney in Riverside County can review what happened and identify what information may still be available. Early legal guidance can help you avoid mistakes that can reduce the value of your potential recovery.
What a Riverside County Personal Injury Claim Can Cover
Recoverable damages in a California personal injury case can include medical expenses (past and future), lost wages, reduced earning capacity, pain and suffering, and property damage. When we meet with you, we examine the full impact of what happened, not just the immediate medical costs, so any claim we pursue reflects the actual disruption the accident has caused to your life.
Timing matters. Under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 335.1, most personal injury claims must be filed within two years of the date of injury. If your injury involved a government entity, an administrative claim is generally required within six months under California Government Code Section 911.2. These are general rules; the deadline that applies to your specific situation depends on the facts of your case. Contacting a personal injury lawyer in Riverside County as early as possible can give you a better chance to preserve evidence, secure witness accounts, and avoid missing the window to file entirely.
During your free consultation, we identify which categories of compensation may apply to your situation and explain your options in plain language so you can make an informed decision about next steps.

Frequently Asked Questions
How Much Does It Cost to Hire Your Firm?
We work on a contingency-fee basis, so you don’t pay legal fees upfront. Our fee is collected from a recovery, if there is one, rather than billed at the start. We explain the arrangement during your free consultation so you know exactly what to expect before you decide.
How Do I Know If I Have a Personal Injury Case?
You may have a case if you were injured because someone failed to act reasonably: a careless driver, a negligent property owner, or another party whose conduct caused your harm. During a consultation, we look at how the accident happened and how you were affected, then explain whether a claim appears appropriate under California law.
How Long Will My Case Take?
Timeframes depend on factors like injury severity, the length of your treatment, and how the insurance company responds. Some claims resolve in a few months; others take longer. We discuss realistic timing for your situation and keep you updated as your case moves forward.
Will I Have to Go to Court?
Many cases resolve through settlement without a trial. Some require filing a lawsuit when negotiations stall or liability is disputed. If litigation becomes necessary, we explain the process and guide you through each step.
How Long Do I Have to File a Personal Injury Claim in California?
Under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 335.1, most personal injury claims carry a two-year deadline from the date of injury. If your claim involves a government entity, an administrative claim is generally required within six months under California Government Code Section 911.2. These are general rules, and the deadline that applies to your case depends on its specific facts. Contact our team as early as possible so we can identify the window that applies to your situation.
LIFE COMES AT YOU FAST.
-
What types of cases does your firm handle?At KAL Attorneys, we take on personal injury and wrongful death actions of all kinds, including those involving motor vehicle accidents (cars, trucks, motorcycles, pedestrians, and cyclists), dog bites, trip and fall accidents, and defective products. If you were injured because of another’s negligence, we may be able to help.
-
What is my case worth?While it is impossible to determine the worth of a case without a complete investigation and analysis of all losses you have suffered, we can say that your claim may involve compensation for lost earnings, future loss of earnings, emotional trauma, medical bills, ongoing treatment, and property damage. With every personal injury case our attorneys handle, we strive to maximize our client’s compensation to help him or her rebuild and move on.
-
What are contingency fees?Our Santa Ana and Riverside personal injury lawyers handle cases on contingency, which means our legal fees are contingent upon the outcome of a case. We only get paid if we recover a settlement or award on behalf of our client. Instead of worrying about how you will pay for an attorney, you can focus on healing and moving on while we pursue the highest amount of compensation possible.
-
How much does a personal injury attorney cost?At KAL Attorneys, you pay nothing for our legal services unless – and until – there is a recovery on your behalf. You do not have to worry about upfront costs, and our fee will be a percentage of your settlement or award, which we will agree upon ahead of time. We only get paid if you do.
-
What if I’m partially at fault?In California, the principle of contributory negligence may apply if you were partially to blame for your accident and resulting injuries. This would mean that your total award or settlement may be reduced by whatever percentage you were at fault. If you were found to be 10% to blame, your award would be reduced by 10%. If you are more than 50% to blame, however, you would not be entitled to compensation from the other party.
