California Personal Injury Lawyers

California Personal Injury Counsel That Fights

Key Takeaway

Insurance carriers count on you giving up. Flatiron’s California personal injury team fights for full recovery — and we don’t get paid unless you do.

A serious crash on the 405. A motorcycle accident in the Bay Area. A construction injury at an LA jobsite. A defective product that hurt someone you love. California personal injuries change lives immediately—medical bills, lost work, slow recovery. The insurance carriers on the other side are doing everything they can to minimize what they pay. You need attorneys who know California tort law and aren’t intimidated.

At Flatiron Legal Advisors, our California personal injury attorneys represent injured Californians across the state with the resources to take on major insurance carriers and the resolve to take cases to trial when necessary.

California Personal Injury Cases We Handle

Auto Accidents

California car accidents, motorcycle accidents, trucking, rideshare, hit-and-run. California is an at-fault state with mandatory liability insurance. We pursue third-party claims, MedPay coverage, and UM/UIM when applicable.

Trucking and Commercial Vehicle Accidents

California’s highways carry massive commercial traffic. Trucking cases involve serious injuries, complex coverage, and federal regulations (FMCSA).

Premises Liability

Slip and fall, trip and fall, inadequate security, swimming pool accidents. California applies a duty-of-reasonable-care standard with foreseeability analysis—generally more plaintiff-friendly than the invitee/licensee/trespasser classification states.

Wrongful Death

California Code of Civil Procedure 377.60 governs wrongful death claims. We handle these matters with the care these losses demand.

Construction Site Injuries

California construction sites see falls, struck-by injuries, scaffolding accidents, equipment failures. Cases often involve multiple potentially responsible parties.

Product Liability

California is one of the most plaintiff-friendly states for product liability. Strict liability, negligence, and warranty claims under California’s well-developed body of product liability case law.

Dog Bites

California has strict liability for dog bites under Civil Code 3342 — owners are liable regardless of the dog’s prior history.

California Personal Injury Law Basics

Statute of Limitations. Most California personal injury cases must be filed within 2 years. Government claims (against public entities) require notice within 6 months. Don’t wait.

Pure Comparative Fault. California uses pure comparative negligence — you can recover even if you’re 99% at fault (with recovery reduced accordingly). California is one of few states that allows this.

MICRA. California medical malpractice has specific caps and procedures under MICRA. Other personal injury cases generally have no statutory damage caps.

Contingency Fee. California personal injury cases are typically handled on contingency. No fee unless we recover. Free consultations.
