Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do immediately after a car accident on Irvine's busy freeways like I-405 or I-5?
Move to safety if possible, call 911, and document the scene with photos while waiting for Irvine Police or CHP to arrive. Seek medical attention even for minor injuries, as adrenaline can mask pain, and obtain a copy of the police report for your personal injury claim.
How long do I have to file a personal injury lawsuit in California?
California's statute of limitations for personal injury cases is generally two years from the date of injury. However, claims against government entities like the City of Irvine have much shorter deadlines, often requiring notice within six months and filing suit within one year.
How do I choose the right personal injury attorney in Irvine?
Look for attorneys with specific experience handling cases similar to yours in Orange County courts, strong track records of settlements and verdicts, and familiarity with Irvine's local conditions.
