Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to speak with an auto injury lawyer?

The initial case review is free. When a case is accepted on a contingency-fee basis, no attorney fee is collected unless compensation is recovered. The exact fee arrangement will be explained before representation begins.

Should I speak with the insurance company?

You should report the collision as required, but be cautious about recorded statements, broad medical authorizations, or settlement documents. An attorney can help you understand what information is necessary and what could affect your claim.

What if I was partly responsible for the accident?

Partial responsibility does not automatically prevent a California injury claim. The facts must be evaluated to determine how fault may affect any potential recovery.

What if the other driver was uninsured?

Your own insurance policy may include uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage. Additional responsible parties or policies may also need to be investigated.

How long do I have to file an injury claim?

California generally provides two years for an action involving injury caused by another person’s wrongful act or negligence, but shorter deadlines and exceptions can apply, particularly in claims involving a government entity. Speak with an attorney promptly about the deadline for your circumstances.

How much is my auto injury case worth?

The value depends on factors including fault, injury severity, medical treatment, future care, lost income, insurance coverage, recovery, and the effect of the injuries on your life.

Should I accept the insurance company’s first offer?

You should understand the full nature of your injuries and losses before resolving the claim. Signing a settlement generally ends the ability to seek additional compensation from that party.

Does Tedford & Associates provide pro bono or free legal services?

Tedford & Associates is a private law firm and does not provide pro bono or free legal services. Personal injury cases accepted by the firm may be handled on a contingency-fee basis, which means clients do not pay attorney fees upfront. Attorney fees are collected from the recovery only if compensation is obtained. The specific fee arrangement and any potential case-related costs will be explained before representation begins.
