Personal Injury Law Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Do I really need to hire an auto accident attorney?

It is not required to hire an attorney after an auto accident, but it is usually in your best interest to do so! Insurance companies do not want to pay out on the claims that are filed, which is why hiring a top personal injury lawyer like Super Woman Super Lawyer can often result in a higher settlement amount.

How much is my claim worth?

It is always best to give us a phone call so that we can properly evaluate your case over the phone. Factors such as medical bills, pain and suffering, missed work and more factor in to how much your claim is worth. Call us today or fill out a brief form for a free case evaluation to see if we can help you!

How long do I have to take legal action after my accident?

Each state has a different statute of limitations when it comes to filing a claim. In California, auto accident claims need to be filed within two years after the accident occurred. This statute of limitations can vary, though, based on if a public entity is responsible for the accident rather than an individual. It is very important that you call an attorney immediately after an accident to get a proper evaluation of your case and so you do not miss your filing deadline. Read more about the statute of limitations at the Super Woman Super Lawyer blog.

Isn’t it expensive to hire a personal injury attorney?

How do I know if Super Woman Super Lawyer is the best motorcycle lawyer for my case?

If I was injured by a dog or another animal can I still seek compensation?

Animal attacks can be traumatic events that leave both physical and psychological scars, and the road to recovery is often long and painful. Laws vary by state and animal, but if an insurance company is refusing your claim, or if a pet owner might be responsible for the attack, you may wish to hire an animal attack lawyer.

What is medical malpractice and is it one of Super Woman Super Lawyer’s practice areas?

Medical malpractice is a type of personal injury, and one of our many practice areas.

When should I reach out to Super Woman Super Lawyer for a 2nd Opinion?
